Macron dismisses video of his wife pushing him in the face

# French president Emmanuel Macron has dismissed a video showing his wife Brigitte pushing him in the face as they prepared to get off a plane in Vietnam. The short video, shot by an Associated Press camera operator, shows the aircraft door opening with Macron appearing in the doorway. Seconds later, his wife’s hand appears to shove him, causing him to step back before regaining his composure. Macron says he and his wife were joking around, as they do quite often. He criticised how the video had been weaponised.
