US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday backed calls for a ceasefire in Libya, urging the warring parties to preserve the country’s oil.

“Quick and in-good-faith negotiations are now required to implement a ceasefire and relaunch the UN-led intra-Libyan political talks,” Pompeo told reporters, shortly after European leaders also backed a truce.

“Putting Libya on the path to economic recovery means preserving Libyan oil facilities,” he added.
