Doesn’t seem like he did anything wrong?

I think he did nothing wrong from a western cultural sense, but considering the historical context I can see how he ruffled some feathers (riding in to the rescue much?).

I think the view that he did anything wrong is pretty silly and hyper sensitive, honestly feels like a FoxNews talking point wrapped up in a bow - “Macron faces backlash for bringing order….” write your own headline.

The French and Kenyan presidents were co-hosting the summit. Running the panels is part of that. He probably could have handled it better though.
