Trump Supports India-Middle East-Europe Corridor to Diversify Energy Routes Away from Iran
US President Donald Trump expressed strong support for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), emphasizing the need to shift Middle East energy infrastructure away from Iranian-controlled routes amid ongoing regional conflicts. Speaking with Gulf Cooperation Council and Arab leaders at the UN General Assembly, Trump linked this shift to recent attacks on commercial shipping near the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting efforts to enhance regional safety and energy security. The IMEC aims to connect India, the Gulf, and Europe through rail and shipping networks to diversify energy transit routes.
