French President Emmanuel Macron was briefly held up by US police in New York on Monday, September 22, after addressing the United Nations General Assembly, where he formally announced France’s recognition of the State of Palestine. As Emmanuel Macron left the UN headquarters, officers stopped him on the street due to Donald Trump’s motorcade passing through the area. “I’m sorry, Mr President, everything is blocked right now,” one officer told him, a moment caught on video and circulated widely on social media by Brut. Caught in the unusual situation, Macron phoned Trump and joked, “Guess what, I’m waiting in the street because everything is blocked for you.” The standoff lasted several minutes before the street was reopened to pedestrians, forcing Macron to continue his call while making his way on foot toward the French Embassy.
