STOCKHOLM, April 28 (Reuters) – Sweden is issuing an early ​warning of ‌a potential shortage of jet fuel stemming from the ‌war ​in the ⁠Middle East, ⁠Energy Minister Ebba Busch said on Tuesday.

“This is based ​on the Energy Agency’s assessment,” ⁠Busch told ⁠a press ​conference.

Sweden could in a ​worst case scenario ‌face rationing of aviation fuel, but the situation ⁠going forward depends to a great degree on ⁠how ‌the market ⁠adapts, said ​Energy ‌Agency General Director ​Caroline Asserup.
