The French president, Emmanuel Macron, is one of the biggest protagonists of which this week is held in New York (United States). Yesterday, at a high -level meeting covered by its government and that of Saudi Arabia, opening the doors to a much greater endorsement, due to the drag that Paris entails. It is, because of the impulse to this meeting and for its own change of policy regarding Israel, one of the centers of all foci.
But, in addition, it is being for an infinitely more banal anecdote, but that runs like gunpowder through social networks. And it is that the Liberal Gallic was briefly caught in traffic in New York, after the police closed the roads in the large apple area. The reason? He had to pass the caravan of the US President, as several local media and tweets who encountered the striking image report on Tuesday.
There you can see a whole president of France stopped by the Police, supported by a separation fence, just when he headed to the embassy of his country, running with Trump’s convoy, he informs . But what fascinates is not that unusual stamp, of the president of a member country of the UN Security Council or the G7 blocked by a fatter fish, but the reaction that the tenant of the Palace of Elysee had: the French leader approached a police officer to ask about the blockages and, knowing the reason, took his phone and called Trump, without intermediaries, although he first tried to sneak into the truth. “If you don’t see them, let me pass,” Macron said, peeked to the metal fence and in reference to motorcycles that the presidential committees usually open.
In the videos disseminated in social networks – which have been viralized – Macron is seen calling Trump on the phone (on the other side they serve very fast) and jokeing: “How are you? Guess what happened. I am waiting for you on the street because everything is closed for you,” jokes the Frenchman.
That is why the Republican stopped or changed his plans, no. Macron had to continue his trip on foot, walking for about 30 minutes through the streets of New York, like all the other citizens affected by the cut, while he continued his conversation with Trump, yes.
During his walk, Macron took pictures with people who were recognizing him and one of them even kissed him on his forehead, calming his security team: “Do not worry,” he told them after this little inappropriate gesture. A little mass bath, after it is clear that Trump is always going first, and more playing at home.
Joviality with sea in the background
The call, apparently Jovial, between both allies comes at a tense moment in Franco-American relations, after Macron challenged Trump to recognize the Palestinian state, something that affects Israel, Eternal Allied with Washington. In his expected speech at the summit, boycotted by the US and Israel, who were absent from the room, Macron warned that peace can no longer wait, since “we are about to not be able to conquer it.” In a reprimand to the government of, he declared: “Nothing, nothing, justifies the continuation of the war in Gaza.”
Macron has been fundamental in the campaign for numerous countries to recognize a Palestinian state, and his speech occurred one day after the United Kingdom, Canada and other Western allies made the same historical decision, on Sunday, leaving Netanyahu alone as never before.
Trump has previously condemned the country’s recognition as a “reward to Hamas.” When Macron first announced his intention to do so in July, Trump ruled out as a theatrical maneuver, he said.
