Report: Embargo on Russian gas not under discussion – Macron

ROME, Apr 22 (PRIME) -- An embargo on Russian natural gas exports to Europe may be discussed in the framework of sanctions, but it is not discussed now, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview to Italian daily Corriere della Sera published on Friday.

“This is an issue that may end up on the negotiating table, but not today. We are in negotiations on coal and oil, but we are yet to start them on gas. We know the scale of difficulties that it causes,” he said, as quoted by the daily.

“This is why you have been hearing for many years about energy sovereignty of Europe from me.”
