"Bienvenue à New York, Monsieur le Président. French leader Emmanuel Macron got an authentic New York experience when his car was blocked by UN traffic - with the head of state filmed getting out to walk and even calling President Trump for help. Bizarre video showed the European leader begging an NYPD cop to help him get through on Monday, soon after he finished giving a controversial speech to the United Nations, according to French outlet Brut."
""I'm really sorry, Mr. President, everything is currently blocked," the apologetic officer tells Macron, who tries to convince the cop to let him through if Trump's convoy is not immediately passing by. Frazzled, Macron then makes a call - seemingly to Trump. "How are you? Guess what, I'm waiting in the street because everything is closed for you," Macron says, laughing in the call, seemingly to his American counterpart."
Emmanuel Macron was blocked by UN traffic in New York after delivering a controversial United Nations speech. Video captured Macron asking an apologetic NYPD officer to clear the way, then placing a call—apparently to President Trump—saying he was waiting because everything was closed for him. Macron walked about 30 minutes through Manhattan, smiling and posing for pictures; a passerby kissed his head and Macron gently told his security to stand down. The NYPD did not immediately comment. Macron formally recognized the State of Palestine on behalf of France at the UN to increase pressure on Israel to end the Gaza conflict. Trump is expected to speak at the UN on Tuesday.
