French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France has secured additional supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar. The agreement aims to help France manage rising energy costs amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.
During a visit to Doha on Wednesday, Macron revealed that France will receive the equivalent of 2 terawatt-hours of LNG per month during the winter. This move is part of broader efforts to stabilize energy costs and ensure supply security.
The deal also includes plans to reduce fuel transport costs from the Persian Gulf, further supporting France's energy strategy. Macron discussed these developments with reporters in Qatar, emphasizing the importance of these agreements for the upcoming winter period.
