PM: Czech government will not join international talks on fuel crisis

The Czech government will not take part in an international meeting on the fuel crisis organized by the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) told reporters on Thursday. He also ruled out any Czech response to a call by U.S. President Donald Trump for countries to attempt to unblock the Strait of Hormuz without American assistance.

According to Mr. Babiš, Prague intends to address the fuel crisis primarily within Central European framework initiatives aimed at securing a coordinated response.
