President Donald Trump revealed that he spoke to Emmanuel Macron following the shocking footage of the French president being shoved in the face by his wife, Brigitte.
The moment got captured by the global media as the Macrons arrived in Hanoi. Brigitte Macron's arms can be seen pushing Macron away on board the presidential aircraft in footage captured on the tarmac.
'There was a video of the First Lady of France slapping her husband, Emmanuel Macron,' Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked the president. 'Do you have any world leader-to-world leader marital advice?'
Trump quipped in response: 'Make sure the door remains closed.'
'That was not good,' earning guffaws in the Oval Office, where he was holding a send-off press conference for DOGE head Elon Musk.
'I spoke to him,' Trump said of Macron.
'He's fine. They're fine. They're two really good people. I know him very well, and I don't know what that was all about,' Trump said, choosing his words carefully.
'But I know him very well, and they're fine.'
That prompted an interjection from Musk. 'I know a little shiner here,' said the world's richest man, whose black eye was visible throughout the event Friday.
Musk only later revealed the source of his injury. 'I was just horsing around with Little X,' Musk explained to the cameras and reporters. 'I said go ahead, punch me in the face.'
'And he did. Turns out even a five year old punching you in the face ...' Musk explained.
During the incident that drew the question, Macron, 47, could be sheen in Associated Press video getting shoved in the when his face touched down in Vietnam Sunday night.
The video showed Brigitte's, 72, arms emerging from off camera to push the president's face - in a scene that was visible from below.
Macron then turns to wave through the open door.
