The Group of Seven (G7) nations have agreed to release 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel from their strategic reserves over four months, in a move aimed at easing the global energy supply crisis and rising fuel prices.
The agreement was reached under the chairmanship of French President Emmanuel Macron, according to reports from France. The move follows a warning from US President Donald Trump.
