七国集团成员国于周五同意释放数千万桶柴油和原油，这是全球工业经济体为抑制飙升的汽油价格而采取的最新举措。在法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙主持的七国集团视频会议结束后，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示：“欧洲刚刚同意释放其库存的大量柴油。”“释放程序将立即启动。”特朗普在“Truth Social”平台上发帖称。
Member countries in the Group of Seven agreed on Friday to release tens of millions of barrels of diesel fuel and crude oil, the latest move by industrial economies around the world to cap soaring gas prices. Following a G-7 videoconference hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, U.S. President Donald Trump said, “Europe has just agreed to release a massive amount of their heavily stocked Diesel Oil.”“The process will begin immediately,” Trump posted on Truth Social. Gas prices have soared since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28.
自美国和以色列于2月28日袭击伊朗以来，汽油价格一直飙升。但今年夏天，在俄乌战争于7月升级后，柴油价格尤其再次大幅上涨。自2月底以来，美国柴油平均价格上涨70%，达到每加仑6.37美元。七国集团在一份声明中说，将在四个月内最多释放1亿桶石油，并指出将在“最初20天内大规模释放柴油”。今年3月，国际能源署成员国批准释放4亿桶原油。
But diesel in particular saw a renewed surge this summer after the Russia-Ukraine war escalated in July. Since late February, the average price of U.S. diesel has surged 70% to $6.37 per gallon. The release will be as much as 100 million barrels over the course of four months, the G-7 said in a statement. It noted that there would be a “substantial diesel release within the first 20 days.”In March, countries that are members of the International Energy Agency approved a release of 400 million barrels of crude oil.
这一措施有助于部分缓解能源供应问题，但价格仍在上涨。截至周五，自伊朗战争爆发以来，油价仍处于高位。布伦特原油价格此前因预期这一消息而下跌3%，但目前仍在每桶100美元以上。布伦特原油价格较年初仍上涨逾60%。七国集团成员国达成该协议前，美国特朗普政府已连续多日向欧洲盟友施压，尤其是德国和法国，这两个国家储存了欧盟很大一部分柴油储备。
That helped to partially ease the energy supply problem, but prices continued to rise. As of Friday, prices still remain sharply elevated since the Iran war began. Brent crude oil, which was down 3% in anticipation of the news, still hovered above $100 per barrel. Since the start of the year, Brent prices are up more than 60% still. The agreement between G-7 countries also comes after multiple days of pressure by the Trump administration on European allies, particularly Germany and France, where a large share of the EU’s diesel reserves are held.
美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周四深夜在X平台上写道：“美国农民、卡车司机和企业不应承担全球柴油短缺的负担。”与此同时，特朗普正公开考虑实施美国柴油出口禁令，这将对欧盟国家以及英国造成尤其严重的冲击。
“American farmers, truckers, and businesses should not be left carrying the burden of a global diesel shortage,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote on X late Thursday. At the same time, Trump is openly considering a U.S. diesel export ban, which would hit EU countries, as well as the United Kingdom, particularly hard.
周五早些时候，欧盟表示其“完全拒绝任何禁用柴油的禁令”。欧盟委员会发言人在一次简报会上对记者说：“这项禁令不会让任何人受益。”
Earlier on Friday morning, the European Union said it “fully rejects any ban on diesel.”“A ban would not be beneficial to anyone,” a European Commission spokeswoman told reporters in a briefing.
