[French President: U.S. and Iran Unlikely to Reach Agreement on Strait of Hormuz in the Short Term] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on September 19, French President Macron stated on September 18 local time that France will push the European Union 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 short term. Macron noted 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 reached historic highs, causing significant challenges and exacerbating purchasing power issues. The price of natural gas and the overall energy situation are also concerning, and these circumstances are entirely caused by war and international tensions. Macron emphasized that France hopes to take action at the EU level and will communicate on this matter with the President of the European Commission. (Jin10)
