The G7 last Friday agreed a 100 mln-barrel release; US president Trump warned he could ban US diesel exports if the G7 did not release more diesel. It remains unclear how much diesel versus crude would be released; IEA member states and the EU oil coordination group met Wednesday to discuss the plan.
