‘Mr. President, Please Help Us Stop the War’: Egyptian President’s Plea to Donald Trump

On Monday, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi urged President Donald Trump to stop the war in the Gulf, declaring, "nobody can stop the war in our region in the Gulf but you."
Al-Sisi warned the conflict could trigger "twin shocks of supply shortages and price rises," with targeting energy facilities posing "very serious repercussions for the global economy."
Market watchers warned "the price of a barrel of oil could reach more than $200, and this is not an exaggeration," while Al-Sisi noted disruptions to fertilizer exports will have severe impact on fragile economies.
Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi condemned Iranian attacks on regional energy infrastructure, calling the closure of the Strait of Hormuz a "blatant violation of international law."
Egypt has pushed diplomatic efforts to avoid wider regional war, with Al-Sisi crediting Trump for helping end the Gaza conflict after a ceasefire was signed in Sharm in November.
