The French president was stopped while attempting to cross a street closed for a VIP motorcade during the UN assembly
French President Emmanuel Macron likes to say that he can get US President Donald Trump on the phone any time he wants. In New York for the UN General Assembly, he proved it.
Blocked on Monday night by police officers when he sought to cross a New York street – they told the French president the road was closed to let a VIP motorcade pass – Macron fished out his phone and dialled his US counterpart.
“How are you?” Macron said. “Guess what? I’m waiting in the street because everything is frozen for you!”
