Macron proposes UN resolution to secure Strait of Hormuz in New York talks with Trump

French President Emmanuel Macron met with US President Donald Trump in New York on Monday, calling the discussion "very constructive" and proposing initiatives to address rising oil prices. The meeting occurred ahead of the UN General Assembly. Macron proposed a UN Security Council resolution to guarantee navigation freedom in the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global hydrocarbon trade passes, and offered French support for securing Saudi energy infrastructure against Houthi attacks. He also discussed accelerating aid to Ukraine, including interceptor missiles. The two leaders also addressed the Ukraine-Russia war, with Macron urging continued US support for Kyiv and discussing potential energy-related moratoriums. Trump stated on social media that Russia had "lost control" of its diesel industry due to the conflict, calling the war "ridiculous and endless."
