Reposted by Munich Security Conference
At the @munsecconf.bsky.social, I stressed that when maritime chokepoints like the Red Sea are disrupted, the ripple effects on trade, food, and energy security are global.

Bold diplomacy, as we saw in the Black Sea Initiative, remains our best tool to keep sea lanes open and safe.
