Macron presses Trump on Hormuz and Ukraine as oil prices surge
French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed a series of measures to US President Donald Trump aimed at easing pressure on global energy markets, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz, protecting Saudi oil infrastructure and pursuing an “energy truce” between Russia and Ukraine.
As Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure threaten to disrupt heating and electricity supplies for millions, the G7 energy group is stepping up support ahead of winter. In response to a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in New York, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France would supply radar stations and interceptors to bolster Ukraine's air defense.
The French leader emphasized that this aid is crucial to helping Ukraine weather the coming winter, and he also discussed prospects for an energy truce and a moratorium in the Black Sea during the talks.
