Trump asked about ‘world leader marital advice’ amid Macron’s wife controversy
Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy asks President Donald Trump about recent footage of French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife.
President Donald Trump offered his marital advice to French President Emmanuel Macron, after video footage was released of Macron’s wife, Brigitte, pushing the French leader in the face.
"Make sure the door remains closed. That is not good," Trump told reporters Friday. "No, I spoke to him, and he's fine, they're fine. Two really good people I know very well. And, I don't know what that was all about, but, I know him very well, and they're fine."

Trump’s comments come after video footage from the Associated Press emerged where Macron and his wife exited a plane upon landing in Hanoi, Vietnam, Sunday as part of a southeast Asia tour. The video depicts Macron at the door of the plane, and a woman’s hands appearing to shove him in the face.
The couple, who have been married since 2007, were subsequently photographed departing the aircraft together.
Meanwhile, Macron’s office later said the couple was engaging in a playful moment at the time of the incident.

"It was a moment where the President and his wife were decompressing one last time before the start of the trip by horsing around. It's a moment of complicity. It was all that was needed to give ammunition to the conspiracy theorists," Macron’s office said in a statement Tuesday.
