French President Emmanuel Macron declared, during a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York, United States, about the current situation in the Red Sea, and in particular how to secure better oil exits from the Middle East:

In order to address the crisis in the Middle East and the eastern region and to fulfill our commitment to do everything in our power to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and allow free flow of cargoes. Several solutions were discussed. We will work on diplomatic solutions in the coming hours — solutions that, even without a comprehensive agreement, will allow us to find ways and means to enable more container ships and tankers to pass through. The second topic discussed was the situation in the Red Sea. In this matter, without escalating tensions, we discussed how to better secure the oil export stations in the Red Sea. They are also critical to global oil prices.
