PARIS – French President Emmanuel Macron posted a video on his Twitter account in the early hours of Thursday, in which Macron outlined the scenes of violence in Washington DC while also expressing his strength in the democratic process in the United States.
Macron spoke English and French in his Twitter video messages, which were labeled “#WeAreOne.”
“I just wanted to express our friendship and our faith in the United States. What has happened today in Washington DC is not American, definitely. We believe in the strength of our democracies. We believe in the strength of American democracy, “Macron said, speaking in English.
Hundreds of supporters of President Donald Trump had previously stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday with the aim of undoing his electoral defeat.
