Erdogan and Macron Delayed for Trump's Motorcade in NYC
During the UN meeting in New York, two world leaders, Erdogan and Macron, had to wait while police cleared the streets for President Trump's car.
Erdogan looked annoyed as he waited.
Earlier, Macron experienced a similar delay, which led to him joking with Trump.
This happens because security is very tight for important people during the UN meeting.
Macron had just announced France recognized Palestine as a country, which Trump didn't like.
Erdogan's motorcade was stopped by NYC police to allow passage for Trump's.
Macron faced a similar delay and joked with Trump about it.
Both incidents occurred during the UN General Assembly in NYC.
Security is heightened in NYC during the UN event.
Macron's announcement of Palestinian recognition caused tension.
