- Story Text: President Emmanuel Macron welcomed Qatar's ruling emir Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani to the Elysee presidential palace on Thursday (September 19) in the wake of an attack on Saudi oil installations.
France will send experts to Saudi Arabia to help with investigations into an attack on Saudi oil installations, Macron's office said on Wednesday (September 18).
The attack, which halted half the kingdom's output, could harm French diplomacy meant to avert a feared U.S.-Iranian conflict, diplomats told Reuters after Macron's top envoy held talks in Saudi Arabia.
