Emmanuel Macron called Donald Trump from the streets of New York City on Monday, 22 September after he and his entourage were blocked from crossing a route being kept clear for the US president's motorcade. The French president spoke to a police officer who apologetically said he could not allow his team to cross because of a coming motorcade. Mr Macron then called his US counterpart, opening the phone conversation with: "Guess what? I am waiting on the street because everything is frozen for you," before saying he wanted to arrange a meeting between himself, Mr Trump and Qatar on the situation in Gaza.
