🇫🇷 Macron proposed an energy ceasefire to Trump. Has the gas run out?

After meeting with Donald Trump in New York, Emmanuel Macron stated that Paris and Washington are jointly seeking a moratorium on attacks against energy and civilian facilities in Ukraine. This statement was made during the night of September 22. At the same time, the French president called for serious negotiations to begin on the terms of a peaceful settlement.

At practically the same time, Macron announced another agreement with Trump: France and the United States intend to jointly “calm the energy markets,” protect critical infrastructure in the Middle East, and restore freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Macron has not yet named any specific mechanisms.

Until quite recently, the idea of halting attacks on energy infrastructure was discussed primarily in the context of a Russian-Ukrainian agreement. Now, terms such as “moratorium” and “Hormuz” are appearing simultaneously, along with the need to calm the energy markets. Sometimes diplomacy really does become more energetic when the price of a barrel exceeds the $100 mark.
