在白宫的施压下，七国集团各国宣布将从战略储备中释放1亿桶柴油和原油。
White House strong-arming led to G7 countries announcing they would release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from their strategic reserves.
特朗普政府为应对冬季能源需求，向欧洲施加全方位压力，要求其增加柴油供应，否则将实施出口禁令。这一举措引发了欧洲各国领导人的不满与愤怒，石油企业也陷入混乱，甚至有人私下称此为“敲诈行为”。不过，这一策略似乎取得了成效。
The Trump administration’s full-court pressure campaign on Europe to release diesel supplies or face a U.S. export ban heading into the winter has split and angered European leaders, entangled oil companies and raised private charges of “blackmail.”It also appears to have worked.
据10位不愿透露姓名的石油行业高管及欧洲政府官员透露，白宫高级官员向欧洲各国政府施压，要求其开放战略储备。最终，七国集团宣布将在未来四个月内释放1亿桶柴油和原油。
Senior White House officials led a pressure campaign on European governments to open the spigot on their strategic reserves, according to 10 oil industry executives and European government officials who were granted anonymity to describe the negotiations. Their tactics ultimately led to G7 countries announcing they would release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from their strategic reserves over the next four months.
由于特朗普政府今年初对伊朗发动军事行动以及俄罗斯对乌克兰发动战争，中东和欧洲的炼油厂遭受重创，导致柴油价格创下历史新高。
Diesel prices have hit record highs because of the war the Trump administration launched against Iran earlier this year and Russia’s war against Ukraine, both of which have caused massive damage to fuel refineries in the Middle East and Europe.
据一位了解欧盟能源官员周五早间通话内容的官员向POLITICO透露，一位欧洲外交官将白宫以出口禁令相威胁、要求释放储备柴油的行为明确称为“敲诈”。
One European diplomat characterized the White House’s demands for a release against the threat of a U.S. export ban explicitly as “blackmail,” an official briefed on a call between EU energy officials early Friday told POLITICO.
