{Economic Information Daily News, 25th Special Report} Saudi Arabia's east-west oil pipeline was previously attacked by Yemen's Houthi militants, forcing a halt to part of its oil exports through the Red Sea, putting temporary pressure on international oil prices. French President Macron said on Thursday (24th) that France will send troops to protect Saudi Arabia's Yanbu port oil facilities near the Red Sea from Houthi militant attacks, in order to stabilize oil supply and control oil prices.
Macron stated that France will dispatch soldiers and deploy radar, defense systems, and other military forces at Yanbu port. He emphasized that this move is intended to protect the oil facilities at Yanbu port, not to participate in the conflict.
Macron also stated that France plans to convene a meeting of G7 member countries to discuss releasing strategic oil reserves to stabilize international oil prices. (yc)
