France's presidency said Emmanuel Macron obtained commitments for approximately 100,000 tonnes of diesel per month from the United Arab Emirates during his Gulf tour. Another 100,000 tonnes monthly was expected to be secured during a Bahrain stop later Tuesday; that portion remained prospective in the report.
Why it matters
The additional UAE supply supports France's effort to ease diesel shortages and fuel-price pressure following violent cost-of-living protests.
