Macron stranded in NYC, amusingly calls Trump after police block his route for the motorcade. #Diplomacy #MacronVsProtocol

French President Emmanuel Macron found himself unexpectedly stranded in New York after addressing the United Nations, when police blocked his route to accommodate Donald Trump’s motorcade.

Macron, en route to the French embassy, was forced to pause in the street as the way forward remained closed.

In a moment of levity amid diplomatic protocol, Macron is said to have called Trump directly from the street, remarking on the absurdity of being held up because of his rival’s convoy.

The road eventually reopened — but only for pedestrians — leaving Macron to continue on foot while still engaged in the conversation.
