French President starts Gulf tour for energy and trade
French President Emmanuel Macron has begun a Gulf tour aimed at securing supplies of diesel and oil to reduce fuel prices in France, which are affected by violence stemming from protests over the cost of living and the war in the Middle East. The tour includes Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar. This comes amidst rising global energy prices amid ongoing regional disruptions, especially the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and tensions between Iran and the United States. Macron seeks to strengthen economic and defense partnerships, as well as discuss ways to secure maritime passage and find alternatives for transporting oil, while Europe works to use its reserves to face the crisis.
