Macron meets Trump to discuss a deal on Strait of Hormuz crisis

French President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. President Donald Trump held a bilateral meeting aimed at addressing the growing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Both leaders expressed the need for a "right deal" that could de‑escalate the situation and safeguard international shipping lanes.

The meeting comes amid heightened concerns over disruptions to oil transit through the narrow waterway, which connects the Persian Gulf with the Arabian Sea. Officials from both capitals have warned that any prolonged instability could impact global energy markets.

While specific terms of the proposed agreement were not disclosed, the dialogue signals a coordinated effort by Paris and Washington to manage the crisis through diplomatic channels.
