The two leaders discussed international issues during their call.

French President Emmanuel Macron was halted in New York traffic after police closed roads for U.S. President Donald Trump's motorcade during the UN General Assembly. The incident occurred as Macron was attempting to reach the French Embassy, prompting him to seek clarification from police officers about the roadblocks, according to TRT News and Reuters.

While waiting at the barricade, Macron dialed Trump, humorously informing him, "Guess what? I’m waiting in the street because everything is frozen for you!" The French president's light-hearted interaction underlined their warm relationship amidst serious discussions at the UN, reports South China Morning Post and The Hill.

Macron had to walk approximately 30 minutes through New York to continue his journey. During the call, he also expressed a desire to discuss the situation in Gaza with Trump and Qatar, highlighting his diplomatic aims during the assembly, according to Reuters and The Hill.
