Macron's Unexpected NYC Encounter: A Presidential Phone Call
During the UN General Assembly, French President Emmanuel Macron found himself in a rather unusual situation. While crossing a New York City street, he was stopped by police due to President Trump's motorcade blocking traffic.

A video circulating online captures this unique interaction.
This incident occurred amidst a backdrop of political tension between Macron and Trump at the UN. Macron announced France's recognition of a Palestinian state, a move that Trump sharply criticized.

After the call, Macron continued his journey on foot, enjoying a relaxed walk through the city. The French President even took time for selfies and a kiss on the head from a passerby! He found humor in the situation, stating, "It’s just a kiss, makes no harm."
The French embassy's humorous social media post perfectly encapsulated the relatability of the situation for anyone who has experienced NYC traffic during UNGA.
