lemonde.fr (French) [$]

French President Emmanuel Macron met with US President Donald Trump in New York on Monday to discuss Ukraine and rising oil prices, presenting initiatives including a moratorium on strikes targeting energy infrastructure by both Ukraine and Russia. Macron walked from the French representation to Trump Tower ahead of the UN General Assembly. Trump had earlier blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for fuel price spikes, urging him to stop attacking Russian diesel production facilities. The proposed moratorium would cover Ukrainian and Russian strikes on energy infrastructure. Trump previously criticized the "ridiculous" and "endless" war, saying Zelensky should target other objectives but not diesel production, which he claims causes fuel shortages.
