French President: U.S. and Iran Unlikely to Reach Agreement on Strait of Hormuz in the Near Term

Odaily reports: French President Macron stated that France will push the EU to take action to address energy issues. He also believes that the U.S. and Iran are unlikely to reach an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz issue in the near term.

Macron said that in recent weeks, fuel prices have risen sharply, putting French citizens and households in a difficult situation. Fuel prices at French gas stations have climbed to historic highs, causing considerable hardship and exacerbating purchasing power problems. Natural gas prices and the overall energy situation are also concerning, and these circumstances are entirely caused by the war and the international situation. Macron said France hopes to take action at the EU level and will communicate with the President of the European Commission on this matter. (CCTV News)
