What happened
President Donald Trump stated that his administration supports the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), noting the need to shift Middle East energy infrastructure away from Iranian checkpoints due to attacks on commercial shipping in neighboring countries. The IMEC links India via Mundra port to Fujairah port in the UAE, and then through a pipeline to Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel. From there, it connects to Europe via ships from Haifa port.

Why it matters
The corridor is designed to bypass the Strait of Hormuz and Suez Canal-Red Sea routes, offering a less vulnerable energy axis. This infrastructure project links Gulf oil suppliers to refineries and consumers in the Indian subcontinent and Europe. The viability of this route is seen as a crucial factor in the region's energy future.
