French President Emmanuel Macron said France will push for action at the European Union level to address energy pressures, as fuel and gas costs continue to weigh on households. He said he plans to discuss the matter with the president of the European Commission. Macron also said the United States and Iran are unlikely to reach an agreement over the Strait of Hormuz in the short term. His remarks linked the current strain in energy markets to war and the broader international situation. According to Macron, fuel prices have risen sharply in recent weeks, leaving French citizens and families under pressure. He said prices at French gas stations have climbed to record highs, worsening purchasing power concerns, while natural gas prices and the overall energy situation remain a source of concern. The report was cited by Odaily, which referenced China Central Television News.
