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.
