London – The French president, Emmanuel Macron, played an apparent dispute with his wife Brigitte, after a video of what seemed to be the French first lady, pushing her husband in the face after they arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam, for an official visit.
The video showed Macron appearing inside the door of his plane shortly after landing in the city of Northern Vietnam on Sunday night. A hand and an arm, with the person who is not completely visible but dressed in red, it could be seen that seemed to push the face of the president of his right side.
Macron seemed surprised, but he quickly turned to greet through the open door. Brigitte, with a red jacket, then appeared from the right of the president, with the couple and then walking down the plane of the plane together to the asphalt.

“We are arguing and joking with my wife and a video becomes a kind of geoplanetary catastrophe,” Macron told journalists on Monday. “In the world we live in, we don’t have much time to waste” when discussing such issues, he added.
Speaking on the BFMTV television channel in France, Macron denied any “domestic scene”, adding: “All this is a bit meaningless.”
Macron is in Vietnam as part of a Southeast Asian tour. You will also visit Indonesia and Singapore.
