Trump Supports India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor Amid Regional Energy Concerns
US President Donald Trump has expressed strong support for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), emphasizing the need to shift Middle Eastern energy infrastructure away from Iranian-controlled routes amid ongoing regional conflicts. Speaking at a meeting with Gulf Cooperation Council and Arab leaders during the UN General Assembly, Trump highlighted attacks on commercial shipping as underscoring the importance of alternative energy routes. IMEC, launched in 2023, aims to connect India, the Gulf, and Europe through multi-modal transport and infrastructure, offering a strategic alternative to vulnerable chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz. The project faces challenges due to regional tensions and political uncertainties.
