PARIS – French President Emmanuel Macron posted a video on his Twitter account in the early hours of Thursday morning in which Macron covered the scenes of violence in Washington DC while also expressing his strength in the democratic process in the United States.
Macron spoke in both English and French in his Twitter video messages, with the hashtag “#WeAreOne.”
“I just wanted to express our friendship and our faith in the United States. What happened in Washington DC today is certainly not American. We believe in the strength of our democracies. We believe in the strength of American democracy, “Macron said in English.
Hundreds of supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol earlier on Wednesday in an attempt to overthrow his election defeat.
