"Make sure the door remains closed. That is not good," Trump said on Friday during a press conference in the Oval Office.Asked about the incident, Trump brushed it off, saying, “He's fine too. They’re fine,” adding, “They’re two really good people. I know them very well.”

Responding to the media attention, President Macron said the incident was being overblown and described the moment as a joke between him and his wife.

“We were squabbling and, rather, joking,” he explained, adding that it was being exaggerated into “a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe.”The incident took place Sunday evening as Macron arrived in Vietnam to begin his Southeast Asian tour. In a video shot by the Associated Press in Hanoi, Macron was seen emerging from his plane as he landed. His wife Birgitte's arm then emerged from the left of the door.
