Vertigo of the European Union in the energy crisis The decision of the "Group of Seven" was made on the 10th to release a maximum of 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel within four months, under pressure from the United States. Donald Trump previously raised the possibility of stopping American diesel exports; An action that could intensify the supply crisis of this product in Europe. In return, Washington pledged not to limit its energy exports to other G7 members. However, only seven days later, Trump reached an agreement with Vladimir Putin to export Russian diesel fuel to the world market and the United States; In Europe, this action was seen as a sign of Washington's reluctance to fulfill its commitments to Europe and Ukraine. The European Union, caught in a strategic dilemma in the field of energy supply after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by the Iranian armed forces, must take a series of short-term, medium-term and long-term measures to deal with the upcoming crisis. Supplying new diesel sources from West Asia, using strategic reserves and adjusting some of the environmental regulations are among the immediate solutions facing Brussels.
