Macron says he will send troops to protect Saudi oil facilities in Yanbu.

French President Macron said on the 24th that France will send troops to protect oil facilities at the port of Yanbu on Saudi Arabia's west coast from attacks by Yemen's Houthi armed group, in order to stabilize oil supplies and control rising oil prices. In a joint interview with two French television stations, Macron said that France has completed relevant discussions with Saudi Arabia, and that France will send soldiers and deploy military forces including radar and defense systems, while also mobilizing air forces stationed in the Middle East depending on changes in the situation. He stressed that this move is to protect the oil facilities in Yanbu, not to participate in the related conflict.
