Macron met with Kuwait’s Emir, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and then headed to the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar to strengthen economic and defense partnerships in the region. The tour comes amid global tensions caused by the Middle East war and plans to draw from oil reserves to counter rising prices, with a focus on protecting French interests in the region and developing military cooperation and arms agreements.
