What did Emmanuel Macron and wife do after plane scuffle?
It is unclear what may have led the president's wife to push him publicly, which has since sparked mixed reactions.
In a follow-up clip shared on TikTok by @Luong Kim, Macron is seen getting out of the plane and before getting to the staircase, he pauses to wait for Brigitte.
He then extends his arm for her to hold onto before they alight, but she ignores him and instead holds on to the staircase rail as she goes down the stairs.
Macron walks beside her as he withdraws his arm while smiling at the camera that spotlights their every move.

Macron speaks after scuffle with wife
The French president was forced to defend his wife after he was caught red-handed after being pushed in the face.
He claimed they were joking and being playful before embarking on official business, and denied any other interpretation.
Macron is in Vietnam for a six-day Southeast Asian tour where he is expected to visit Indonesia and Singapore.
His trip is part of his pitch, his offer of a "third way" between the United States and China to a region caught up in a confrontation between the two.
