France's Macron Has a Very New York Experience

French President Emmanuel Macron got what the New York Post describes as an "authentic New York experience" Monday night: His limo got stuck in the gridlock of UN traffic. Ironically, it was caused when the NYPD shut things down so President Trump's own motorcade could arrive, per USA Today. A video shows Macron asking a police officer to let him pass, but the polite cop says it's impossible. At that point, the French president pulled out his phone and called Trump, as first reported in the French outlet Brut.

"Hey, how are you?" Macron is heard saying in accented English. "Guess what, I am waiting in the street because everything is frozen for you. Ha!" But the American president apparently couldn't pull any strings: Macron and his entourage ended up hoofing it to the French embassy. (Read about Trump's speech to the General Assembly.)
