New York: Macron is stuck for Trump – and calls him directly (video)

After his big appearance in New York, in which he announced the recognition of a state of Palestine before the UN General Assembly, France’s President Emmanuel Macron quickly returned to the US reality: On his way back to the French Consulate General in New York, US police officers blocked the way, as a video of the online magazine brood published on Tuesday showed brood.

The reason for this: The convoy of US President Donald Trump should have free travel. Macron initially tried to move the police officer and still have the street crossed him. “As long as it cannot be seen, you can leave us over,” he said – without success. Half -annoyed, half amused, he then leaned onto the barrier grille with his elbows and called the cause of the traffic disruption. “How are you? Rate, what’s going on. I have to wait here on the street because everything is cordoned off,” said Macron to Trump. His environment later confirmed that he actually made calls to the US President.

Macron then took another way, which led him through the streets of New York for about half an hour. He initially talked to Trump and suggested a conversation with representatives of Qatar about the situation in Gaza. Trump had previously sharply criticized Macron’s efforts to recognize a Palestinian state.

On the way through New York, Macron later got involved in a selfie with a couple. A usual gesture for him – however, it was unusual that the man kissed him on the temple. This is worried about Macron’s bodyguard, but not the president. “Everything was good, boys,” he said succinctly to his security guards and said goodbye to the man with a shoulder tapper.
