TREE NEWS update: French President Emmanuel Macron said on September 18 that France will push the European Union to take action on energy issues. He also said Washington and Tehran are unlikely to reach an agreement over the Strait of Hormuz in the short term. The remarks point to continued uncertainty over the key oil chokepoint.
Macron: US-Iran Deal on Hormuz Unlikely in Short Term
Macron's push for EU-level energy action signals that European policymakers are treating chokepoint risk as a structural concern rather than a passing headline, which matters for anyone pricing freight, insurance or crude flows through Hormuz. The near-term diplomatic vacuum he describes leaves that risk premium without an obvious off-ramp. The open question is whether Brussels converts this into concrete measures, and whether shipping and energy markets keep absorbing the uncertainty quietly or begin repricing it.
