Qatar supplies about one-fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas (LNG), and any disruption there quickly reaches markets and consumers worldwide, the country's emir said.
"Anything that affects Qatar is quickly reflected in markets and consumers everywhere," Sheikh Tamim said.
His warning highlights how much the global energy supply depends on a single exporter. LNG is natural gas cooled to liquid form so it can be shipped by sea.
