The US demands Germany and France immediately draw down emergency diesel reserves and asks the EU to release 120 million barrels over six months, or face a US diesel export ban; the European Commission, Germany, France and Italy are drawn into the dispute.
“How stupid can the U.S. be here? ... Threatening allies with an export ban because you want them to burn through their reserves to help lower American fuel prices is a pretty remarkable way to conduct diplomacy.”

How stupid can the U.S. be here? Their international reputation is already taking a beating, and now the answer to high domestic fuel prices is apparently to threaten France and Germany unless they release their own emergency diesel reserves to help bring prices down. These are sovereign countries maintaining strategic reserves for their own…

Eh, it doesn't really work that way. It's a social license thing, that goes into the psychology of it. Basically it's more about social status and keys to power. Someone takes a bribe because the money from the rich guy isn't just money; it's also an implicit promise of access to more money, exclusivity to a secret little club, power, etc. there's…

The Trump Administration is pushing for a 90-day ban on diesel exports intended to rapidly lower climbing fuel prices for consumers, a proposal that, if enacted, will hurt the constellation of Texas refineries in the Gulf Coast and deal a blow to the state’s economy. https://www. houstonpublicmedia.org/article…

Yes! I'm from Finland (historical biggest enemy of Russia) and my great grandfather was killed by Russians. Yet I'm pro Russia because I know my facts! Hundreds of westerners who are specialists on the topic can explain to you very well. I'll only mention a few: Jeffrey Sachs, John Mersheimer, Annie LaCroix Riz, Douglas Mc Gregor,... Take time and…

"And Canada's got a turnover at the blue line! He steals it, he's loose, and he is gone! It’s a breakaway for Canada! He’s flying down the ice, accelerating past the backchecking defensemen.

If it wasn't so super fucking sad it would be hilarious! I wish I could be one if tem 1% for only one day. I would just watch Trump rallys th whole day. "But are gubbernent is their to protect the patriots gooooo Trump" And I would be sitting there. Somewhere between "I can't fucking believe they're this dumb" and laughing my ass off.

He’s afraid to pull the trigger on the export ban. It’s a gamble on prices and most likely every producer will come out against the ban. So now this admin is resorting to demanding others release their emergency supply as some delusional bid to control demand for a short while. All to do the best to hold onto the house.

International politics is two things one it's all about power two it's a poker game where everyone is cheating. He is currently a player whining about his cards and demanding cards from other players who he has spat at before. What do you think is going to happen.

This would not be necessary if Trump had not started a war with Iran LOL... the biggest irony being that this is almost mirror like image from Russia-Ukraine situation where Russia underestimated its opponent, same as Trump did with Iran.

American here. Most of us fully support your boycott. I get pissed any time another country kneels to that shitstain because doing so just promotes more of this behavior. Hes confident enough to do this because it has worked too often.

The Trump Administration has no other answer to the problems they've created than to bully other countries. And to give them a hint, people or groups who are bullied tend not to support/defend the bullies. Good luck America.

What leg work have you done? You copy and pasted someone else's work. I picked that example because its the most obvious bullshit on the list. That being said, if you answer the question I asked, I will then answer yours.

Fair? Trump started a stupid war and now he’s asking Europe to risk their emergency reserves (which won’t even matter a month from now) just to slightly decrease prices before the midterms. It’s bullshit.
-
Do the US ban. It is like the US shooting themselves in the foot. What a rogue government the US has become. It is nice to see it in public. It was hidden before, now we all can see with our own eyes.

No, that's determined by voters But I'd like to think congress is a bit more knowledgeable. One of my senators is a republican and just started criticizing Trump, but election in a month away so...

Is he planning to use more of his brilliant negotiating strategies on them? He really has a way with words. "Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!"
