The world leaders of navigation on close safety and a blown street in New York during the UN General Assembly found on Tuesday caught in unpleasant traffic seizures. French President Emmanuel Macron and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan were briefly stopped by the police because US President Donald Trump rolled over through Manhattan.
Macron’s Call to Trump
Macron was prevented from crossing a barricated street near his diplomatic mission. Rather than waiting, the French leader directly called Trump and joked, “Guess what, I’m waiting on the street because everything is frozen for you.” The video of the moment went viral, which shows that the police apologize, but refuses to let it pass until Trump’s bike cleaned.
Macron then released on foot and walked through Manhattan for almost half an hour and watched the curious New Yorkers who asked for selfies. One admirer even put a kiss on his head as he laughed the situation.
Erdogan stopped
Later, Erdoğan’s delegation was similarly stopped at a transition in New York, and the Turkish president waited for the police to force further closure for Trump’s passage.
Symbolic tension
The inconvenience of the street level took place in the background of sharper disagreements. Macron has just announced the French recognition of Palestinian statehood, which was Trump fired as a “reward for Hamas”. Both leaders exchanged spines above Gaza, although Trump appreciated Macron’s role in Ukraine and called him a “friend” for a long time.
Diplomacy and traffic jams
The incidents emphasize both intensive security surrounding the annual UN Assembly and unpredictable moments that it can produce. Even in the middle of the debates of War and Peace, the spectacle of the world leaders stuck at the intersection in New York offered a rare reminder that engine times – and operation – are not waiting for anyone.
