> French President Emmanuel Macron began a Gulf tour on Monday to secure oil and diesel supplies and bring down prices after violent weekend protests over soaring living costs. Hours after denouncing France’s “unbridled” violence in a Sunday address, he arrived in OPEC member Kuwait, where Emir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah welcomed him.
