Trump Reacts Lightheartedly to Viral Macron Incident, Offers Marriage Advice

Washington D.C. – U.S. President Donald Trump has responded to a viral moment involving French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, which occurred during a recent visit to Vietnam.

The footage, which quickly went viral on social media, showed President Macron disembarking from his plane when his wife’s hand appeared to hit his face accidentally. The brief moment, captured by cameras, sparked widespread online discussion, with some viewers humorously claiming the First Lady had slapped the French President.

The video further showed President Macron reaching out his arm while exiting the aircraft, but his wife did not hold his hand, adding fuel to the internet chatter.

During a press briefing at the Oval Office on Friday, a journalist asked Donald Trump whether he had any marriage advice for the French president in light of the viral clip.

With a smile, Trump joked, “Just make sure the door stays closed.” He then added on a more serious note, “They’re both fine. They’re great people.”
