The International Energy Agency said its members agreed to complete the release of about 100 million barrels of oil still outstanding from a March intervention, according to Bloomberg and The Epoch Times. CNBC and the Daily Caller report that the agency also agreed to release more than 20 million barrels of diesel as soon as possible. Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reports that the US told IEA members the plans did not go far enough to quell rising fuel prices. The Daily Caller says the diesel would cover less than a week of US demand, using a CNBC calculation. Trump said on Truth Social that Europe had agreed to release a massive amount of diesel.
