G7 ministers are prepared to take action to stabilize the global energy market amid disruptions to Middle Eastern oil shipments. Countries stated they are ready to take “all necessary measures” and are coordinating action, though specific steps haven’t been announced.

Officials reiterated their commitment to ensuring stability in the energy market, responding to a squeeze on supply that has already pushed oil and natural gas prices upward.
