英国政府周五对特朗普政府可能切断美国柴油供应的威胁做出回应，表示该国不会面临柴油短缺。1运输部长基尔·马瑟在ITV节目中强调，"我想向人们保证，他们仍然可以去加油站加油，因为英国获得的柴油供应本质上是有韧性的"。1
英国的柴油供应绝大多数来自欧洲大陆，依赖美国供应约占三成。1该国目前持有42天的柴油储备供应。1马瑟表示政府已与欧洲盟国就可能释放紧急柴油储备进行协商。1此外，英国从1980年代的18家炼油厂已减少到现在的4家，1其中最大的Fawley炼油厂计划进行10周的定期维护。1
柴油价格近期承压。1平均价格在周三创历史新高，达每升199.72便士。1为稳定市场，政府已将5便士燃油税减免延长至年底。1
Britain's government has moved to reassure the public that the country will not experience diesel shortages despite concerns over a potential American supply cutoff under the Trump administration. Transport Secretary Keir Mather stated on Friday during an ITV appearance that the UK's diesel supply remains resilient and draws from multiple sources, emphasizing that "people can still go to the petrol station and fill up their cars because the supply of diesel that Britain receives is fundamentally resilient" 1.
The UK currently relies on American supplies for approximately 30 percent of its diesel, with the majority of fuel sourced from continental Europe 1. The country maintains strategic reserves of 42 days' worth of diesel supply 1. Against market pressures—diesel prices reached a historic high of 199.72 pence per liter on Wednesday 1—the government has begun negotiations with European allies regarding the potential release of emergency fuel reserves 1. These discussions come as the Trump administration has reportedly pressured Germany and France to release their reserves or face restrictions on American supplies 1.
The UK's fuel security position reflects broader structural challenges within the sector. The country has contracted from 18 refineries operating in the 1980s to just four today 1, with the nation's largest refinery, Fawley, scheduled for a planned 10-week maintenance shutdown 1. To provide immediate relief at the pump, the government has extended a five-pence fuel tax cut through year's end 1. EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen has indicated that Europe is in dialogue with all International Energy Agency members about emergency reserve releases 1.
