Macron's Office Downplays Viral Video of Wife Seemingly Shoving Him in Vietnam

French President Emmanuel Macron's office played down a viral video showing his wife, Brigitte Macron, appearing to shove him in the face in Vietnam. The incident occurred on Monday at the start of the couple's Southeast Asia tour. The video, which quickly spread online, shows Macron standing in a plane's doorway when a hand appears to shove him. He pauses, turns, and smiles before moving out of view. An official from the Élysée Palace said the couple were "having a laugh." However, the Élysée Palace did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NBC News. The video raises questions about the dynamics between the President and his wife, and highlights the power of social media in disseminating information and shaping public perception.
