Energie: Frankreich setzt bei Kraftstoffpreisen auf gemeinsamen G7-Kurs
Nach Trumps Ankündigung eines möglichen Diesel-Exportstopps sucht Frankreich das Gespräch. Auch eine Videokonferenz der G7 ist geplant.
Paris. Facing rising gasoline prices globally, France aims for greater international coordination. President Emmanuel Macron spoke with US President Donald Trump in the dead of night about global energy supply and the "necessity to act collectively against the rise in fuel prices and ensure the worldwide availability of refinery products", according to the Élysée Palace.
Macron emphasized that the G7 countries have a shared interest in coordinated action, without restricting exports. Earlier, Trump had announced a potential export ban on diesel that would affect European countries as well. The supply of crude oil and refined petroleum products to the G7 nations and the global market should be secured, said the Élysée sources.
Europe-wide talks on coordinating similar measures are also underway. In addition, Macron also spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about the issue.
