G7 agrees 100m barrel oil and diesel release as US drops export ban threat
G7 nations will release 100 million barrels of oil and diesel over four months, with diesel frontloaded, after US pressure and record UK diesel prices above £2 a litre.
The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
The G7 has agreed to release 100 million barrels of oil and diesel from emergency reserves over four months, with a substantial diesel release in the first 20 days. The decision followed a virtual emergency meeting chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron, after President Donald Trump threatened to ban US diesel exports unless Europe tapped its own stockpiles. The US has now ruled out an export ban, and G7 members said there would be no export restrictions between them.
The agreement is aimed at easing a global diesel crunch that has pushed UK pump prices above £2 a litre for the first time. The RAC said average diesel hit a record, up 57.6p since the US-Iran war began in February. Petrol reached about 175p, up 42p. Filling a typical family diesel car costs about £110, about £30 more than before the war.
Diesel has risen faster than petrol because UK refineries produce plenty of petrol but only about half the diesel consumed. The UK imports around 55% of its diesel, about a third from the US, plus supplies from the Netherlands and Belgium. Refinery closures, including Grangemouth and Immingham, and a fall from nine refineries 20 years ago to four, have left the UK more exposed. Russia was once a major supplier, but sanctions and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries removed much of that supply. Middle East conflict and disruption through the Strait of Hormuz have added to the squeeze.
The timing matters politically. US diesel prices have also hit records, up about 70% since the Iran war began, and Trump faces midterm elections. He welcomed the G7 move and said an export ban was never really on the table. Macron said the talks were constructive and secured a commitment against export bans.
In the UK, the government said supplies are resilient and that motorists should not panic. The Chancellor said the UK has the stocks it needs, though the country holds only about 42 days of diesel import cover, far less than many European countries. The government is also under pressure over fuel duty. The 5p cut is due to expire at the end of the year, and any decision will come in next month's budget. Hauliers, farmers, taxi drivers and small businesses warned that higher diesel costs are being passed on, which could raise food and other prices and keep inflation high.
Markets reacted immediately, with European diesel prices falling sharply and crude oil easing. Analysts said the release could reverse pump price increases if delivered quickly, but warned it is temporary and may be less effective than headline numbers suggest. Some European stocks are held by industry rather than governments, previous releases have fallen short, and reserves will need refilling. The deeper fix depends on the Iran war, Russian refinery attacks and global refining capacity.

Channel Perspectives
What each channel focused on, with key quotes.
ITV's evening bulletins led on the squeeze at the pumps, then folded in the G7 deal once it was announced. Coverage stressed driver disbelief, haulage costs, fuel duty and the risk that higher diesel costs feed through to shop prices.
- “Millions of drivers are facing a new record price for diesel as global concerns hit our local garage forecourts.”
- “The leaders of the G7 group of leading economies have tonight agreed to release huge amounts of oil to ease the growing diesel fuel crisis engulfing both the UK and Europe.”
- “For the first time passing £2 per litre, news that was met with disbelief at the pumps.”
GB News framed the diesel spike as a consequence of UK deindustrialisation and net zero costs. It focused on refinery closures, import dependence and the threat of a US export ban, with warnings about shortages in fishing, farming and van driving.
- “Diesel prices are already 25p a litre higher than unleaded.”
- “We have a massive refining problem in this country.”
- “Donald Trump is potentially talking about a 90-day ban on the Americans exporting diesel.”
This coverage used data explainers to show how exposed the UK is to a US export ban. It highlighted the fall in UK diesel stockpiles and the shift from Russian to American and Dutch supplies.
- “The UK has only 42 days worth of diesel imports in stockpiles.”
- “It matters for the UK because we depend on a lot of imported diesel.”
- “Donald Trump says he's considering banning the export of US diesel something energy bosses have condemned saying it'll push prices up”
ITV's lunchtime bulletin concentrated on the knock-on effects for food and haulage. It showed a fleet operator passing on weekly fuel surcharges and warned that all shoppers would feel the cost.
- “Diesel is expected to hit a new all-time record potentially as soon as this afternoon”
- “We're all feeling it when we fill up at the petrol pumps at the moment.”
- “rising fuel prices unfortunately means rising prices for all of us when we go out shopping.”
5 News gave the diesel record short, sharp billing as a consumer alert. Its later lunchtime bulletin linked the milestone to the Chancellor's conference speech and the political pressure over prices.
- “Diesel prices are set to smash the all-time record within days.”
- “The average price of a litre is now £1.95.”
- “The price of diesel has hit an all-time high in the UK”
5 News mixed forecourt pain with small business stories, including haulage, coffee van and taxi drivers. It also reported the G7 reserve release as a response to US pressure and noted the UK's low stockpile cover.
- “diesel is now the most expensive it's ever been at nearly two quid a liter”
- “The G7 nations have agreed to release some diesel reserves.”
- “The UK has agreed to contribute some of its strategic diesel reserves to an international effort to stabilize energy costs.”
The late ITV bulletin treated the G7 deal as a political fix that satisfied Donald Trump, while keeping focus on the record pump price and the budget choices facing the Chancellor.
- “The leaders of the G7 Group of leading economies have agreed to release huge amounts of their diesel reserves, 100 million barrels”
- “It seems to have satisfied Donald Trump, who has backed down tonight on threats to ban diesel exports”
- “It came as the average price of diesel hit a new high of £2 per litre at British pumps.”
This Sky News coverage was set against Labour's conference. It framed record diesel as another fiscal and political squeeze on the Chancellor, overshadowing hopes of a cost of living message.
- “we may be likely to hear today that diesel prices have got to the highest level on record in the UK”
- “the diesel record just got broken. So we just had news that diesel prices are up to 199.18.”
- “What are the policy levers you can pull?”
The Channel 4 news summaries gave a tight record-price report and then added the international response, noting government reassurance and an EU discussion of a French diesel reserve proposal.
- “The cost of diesel has hit an all-time high with the average cost of a litre passing £1.99 for the first time.”
- “The government says Britain is not facing shortages despite President Trump threatening to cut off US supplies of the fuel.”
- “EU countries discussed their French proposal which reportedly involved them releasing 50 million barrels of diesel.”
Verified Live explained the economics behind the diesel record, including the crack spread and lost refining capacity. It treated the US export ban threat as a live risk to UK supplies.
- “here diesel prices have reached an all-time high today to close to, close rather, to two pounds a litre”
- “it's increased by more than the cost of crude oil and that's because of something that's known as the crack spread”
- “if you look at where we get diesel from in the UK, the Netherlands, but we're looking increasingly at the US and threats there from President Trump of banning exports of diesel.”
The regional BBC bulletins combined budget politics with consumer and haulage impact. They later reported the G7 release as a response to the global diesel squeeze and Trump's export threat.
- “The rising cost of diesel and petrol does mean higher prices, of course, for consumers.”
- “The price of diesel's been rising particularly fast, because the UK's refineries don't make enough of it.”
- “the G7 most advanced economies have agreed to release up to 100 million barrels of diesel reserves in a bid to stabilise prices”
These bulletins paired fuel price coverage with a major security story. On fuel, they stressed refinery decline, import reliance and the G7 release, while using Simon Jack's explainer to show why diesel is central to the economy.
- “the price of diesel has hit an all-time high of £1.99 a litre”
- “the G7 most advanced economies have agreed to release up to 100 million barrels of diesel reserves”
- “Twenty years ago the UK had nine refineries, now there's only four.”
This programme pressed the Chancellor on whether the UK really has enough diesel. It linked the record price to memories of the 2000 fuel protests and the political danger of panic buying.
- “the Chancellor has told Sky News that the UK has the stocks it needs after the price of diesel hit its highest ever level.”
- “So 42 days rather than hundreds in other countries, does that count as good stocks, would you say?”
- “It would be disastrous for all of Europe.”
This bulletin focused on the economic data behind the record, including diesel at £2 a litre, fuel duty, energy bills and oil above $100 a barrel. The tone was that high prices will persist until the Gulf crisis eases.
- “diesel prices have hit a record high today”
- “The average price five day rolling averages It has hit £2 a litre”
- “Until those ease, no matter what Prime Ministers and Chancellors say These kind of prices, record diesel prices They are here for a while”
Channel 4 News framed the G7 deal as a surrender to Donald Trump's demands. It highlighted business pain, fuel theft, UK import dependence and the budget fight over fuel duty.
- “G7 leaders have bowed to Donald Trump's demands, agreeing to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil reserves within four months.”
- “Diesel reaching an average of £2 a litre today for the first time”
- “The UK is now more reliant on global markets to meet its fuel needs than at any point in recent history because of the closure of refineries.”
This Sky News bulletin broke the G7 agreement as a political win for Donald Trump and a relief for the UK. It focused on the diesel frontloading and the removal of export controls.
- “The G7 countries have agreed to release a hundred million barrels of oil and diesel in the face of global supply issues”
- “there will be a substantial diesel release within the first 20 days”
- “Almost impossible to see fuel duty going up in that budget”
Newsnight turned the fuel spike into a studio debate about government intervention, business costs and political danger. It asked whether the UK expects too much from the Chancellor in global shocks.
- “diesel now costs above a record two pounds per litre according to the RAC”
- “Today the G7 block of advanced economies including the UK met urgently by video conference”
- “this is really the most kind of political price rise you can have”
The Context gave the G7 release a global policy frame, featuring Macron's statement and expert doubts about delivery. It stressed that the move is temporary and does not solve the underlying supply crisis.
- “The world's major industrialised economies have agreed to release up to 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from emergency stockpiles over the next four months.”
- “there would be no export restrictions or bans between all G7 members”
- “it is definitely temporary”
This panel programme focused on the politics of the G7 deal and Donald Trump's leverage. It noted that the release is small compared with UK annual consumption and that diesel costs feed into everything.
- “G7 leaders have agreed to release 100 million barrels of oil”
- “drivers clearly are going to be worried”
- “the UK uses 200 million barrels a year, so this release isn't going to last very long”
The rolling BBC News bulletins led on Trump welcoming the G7 decision and the market reaction. They combined the record UK diesel price with analysis of US midterm politics and the temporary nature of reserve releases.
- “President Trump has welcomed a decision by European countries to release fuel from their stockpiles”
- “the G7 group of industrialised nations agreed to release 100 million barrels of oil and diesel over the next four months”
- “European diesel prices fell sharply after the deal was announced”
This bulletin repeated the Trump export ban reversal and G7 release, with Ed Conway explaining UK stockpile weakness. It framed the deal as relief for Europe but a temporary one.
- “Donald Trump says that he has ruled out a diesel export ban.”
- “A hundred million barrels of diesel and crude oil will be released from emergency reserves to combat rising prices.”
- “we have some of the lowest levels of stockpiles of diesel anywhere”
