When this proved unsuccessful, he took matters into his own hands, doing what many New Yorkers would likely do: he called Trump directly.
According to reports, their conversation went something like this:
“Hey, how are you?” Macron said. “Guess what, I am waiting in the street because everything is frozen for you. Ha!”
Ultimately, Macron, embracing the New York spirit, decided to walk to his destination, the French embassy, even stopping for selfies and a kiss on the forehead along the way. This unexpected turn of events added a humorous twist to the high-level diplomatic visit.
This unusual incident highlights the sometimes unpredictable nature of high-profile visits and the lengths world leaders will go to navigate even the most frustrating of New York City traffic situations. The story emphasizes the lighter side of international relations and the surprising moments that can occur even amidst serious global events.
