EMMANUEL Macron and his wife Brigitte have put on a united front for the world’s cameras a day after the shocking face slap drama.
Viral footage that has overshadowed the start of the couple’s Southeast Asia tour shows the French leader’s wife shoving him in the mouth and jaw after landing in Vietnam.
Furious Macron attempted to downplay the incident last night by claiming the pair were “squabbling and, rather joking”.
He added that the unbelievable incident has been overblown into “a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe”.
The French leader also argued that the clip and viral reaction to it offered a cautionary tale about disinformation in the social media age.
Today, Macron and the First Lady were captured arm-in-arm after arriving at Hanoi’s University of Science and Technology for the French president to make a speech.
