French President Macron’s car was stopped in New York by police and he called Trump and opened his mouth and said: “The streets are frozen by you, I can only walk by now.”
On September 22, local time, Macron just attended the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the team was headed to the French Consulate General in New York, who could imagine that the good road was suddenly stopped by the police, the road barrier lay directly in front of the bus, the police came to explain, saying that Trump's carriage was about to pass, and all roads had to be closed.
Macron looked around, with no shadow of empty cars in the streets, and tried to negotiate with the police: “I’m going to the embassy, can I get a break?” but the police only dared to shake their heads, saying the rules cannot be broken.
Someone else might have a black face on the spot, but Macron was quite calm. He took out his mobile phone against the roadblock and called Trump directly, with a teasing tone: "Guess what? I'm stuck in the street right now, all because I want to make way for you." This sounded like a joke, but it was full of helplessness. Unfortunately, the phone call didn't work, and the motorcade still couldn't move.
In the end, Macron had no choice but to get off the bus and walk. Security guards quickly surrounded him to protect him. A group of people walked through several blocks to the Consulate General. After nearly half an hour, they met many passers-by who recognized him. Some people came up to take a photo, but he didn't refuse. Even a man suddenly stepped forward and kissed him on the forehead.
The security officers next to him instantly tightened his nerves, and Macron turned back and reassured the team: “No, okay guys.”
The real red face is the United States side, to know that the United States to engage in diplomatic reception is not a newcomer, already in 1874 there was a formal White House national banquet system, according to the rules, foreign heads of state visit, the presidential couple have to welcome in the Northern Gateway, from cocktails to national banquet dishes, then to the after dinner performance, each step has a detailed explanation.
Obama in order to host the Prime Minister of India, intentionally set a tent in the southern lawn, to receive the former President of France Hollande, will also carefully select in the garden to hold a feast, how to Trump when he ruled, even the most basic traffic coordination can be ruined?
Macron's itinerary was obviously reported in advance. It stands to reason that the police and the White House security team should have docked the route long ago. Even if Trump wants to travel, it would be simpler to slightly adjust the time and pass at the wrong peak. As a result, foreign heads of state are forced to abandon their cars and walk. It is a logistical omission to say it lightly, and disrespect to other countries to say it heavily.
French officials said in their mouths that “there was no impact on the schedule,” but it was clearly seen that it was a face for the United States.
Ironically, this is not the first time that the United States dropped the chain at a diplomatic reception, before Vice President Pence went to Europe for a visit, and the jokes broke out, he thanked the Irish president for the reception on the social platform, but deserved the wrong flag, and took the orange and white-green flag of the Cote d'Ivoire as the green and white-orange flag of Ireland, and after a few hours rushed to remove it.
In order to live in the Trump-owned hotel, the secretly run around the long road to places 300 kilometers from the capital, was accused of using taxpayer money to make profit transportation, to Iceland, the prime minister directly refused to receive on the grounds of "there is something", and also encountered more than a dozen civil society organizations joint protest.
These things gathered together, it is not a "coincidence" can explain, in the end, it is the internal coordination chaos in the United States, the importance of diplomatic rituals is becoming less and less, the White House looks at its convenience, the travel of foreign heads as an unnecessary spell, Macron's walk on the streets, instead became a mirror of counter-America's dismissal.
French netizens ridiculed this as a "surreal scene". The head of a big country was forced to walk on the streets of a foreign country and was kissed on the forehead by passers-by at will. But when you think about it carefully, this "surreal" just exposes the embarrassment of American diplomacy. Macron was not angry or angry, and kept his demeanor; However, the United States has not even achieved the basic hospitality. In contrast, it is clear at a glance who is ashamed.
So say, Macron's walk on the streets of New York is not embarrassing at all, really embarrassing, is the negligence and negligence of the United States as the host, is to throw diplomatic rituals in the back of the brain, is even the basic coordination can not handle internal chaos, this embarrassing scene, can be more embarrassing than walking streets.
