US President Donald Trump has said he may ask European countries to release diesel reserves as he considers banning US exports of the fuel.

The move could bring prices down significantly for American drivers, but experts warn it would put further pressure on diesel prices in other countries.

His comment comes as diesel prices in the UK hit record highs this week, hovering at just under £2 per litre, according to motoring organisation the RAC, as the Iran war puts pressure on the supply.

European ministers are meeting on Friday to discuss the potential ban.
