French President Macron dismisses viral video of wife pushing him away: Watch

A video surfaced showing what appears to be French First Lady Brigitte Macron pushing her husband away as they disembarked from their plane on Sunday, May 25, in Hanoi. President Emmanuel Macron’s office initially denied the incident, but later confirmed that photos and videos of the incident were real.
The president’s office later told reporters that the couple was joking around.
“It was a moment where the president and his wife were decompressing one last time before the start of the trip by horsing around,” the president’s office later told reporters. “It’s a moment of complicity. It was all that was needed to give ammunition to the conspiracy theorists.”
Macron is in Vietnam as part of a week-long tour of Southeast Asia to promote France as an alternative to the U.S. and China during ongoing trade and tariff disputes.
