President Macron Stopped by Police in New York

Описание: French President Emmanuel Macron called his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump from the streets of New York on Monday (September 22) after he and his entourage were stopped from crossing a route being kept clear for Trump's motorcade.

Footage shot by French broadcaster BFMTV showed Macron speaking to a police officer who apologetically said he could not allow the French presidential team to cross because of a coming motorcade.

"If you don't see it, let me cross. I negotiate with you", Macron could be heard saying to the officer.

Macron then called Trump in what his office described as a warm and friendly conversation.

"Guess what?," Macron says to Trump, "I am waiting on the street because everything is frozen for you", Macron said, before saying he wanted to arrange a meeting between himself, Trump and Qatar on the situation in Gaza.

Macron and Trump were in New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly.
