Trump offers his marital advice after viral video of Macron's wife shoving his face
President Donald Trump offered his marital advice to French President Emmanuel Macron, after video footage was released of Macron's wife, Brigitte, pushing the French leader in the face.
"Make sure the door remains closed. That is not good," Trump told reporters Friday. "No, I spoke to him, and he's fine, they're fine. Two really good people I know very well. And, I don't know what that was all about, but, I know him very well, and they're fine."
Macron Dismisses Viral Moment With Wife As 'Joking Around' After Disinformation Claims Backfire
Trump's comments come after video footage from the Associated Press emerged where Macron and his wife exited a plane upon landing in Hanoi, Vietnam, Sunday as part of a southeast Asia tour. The video depicts Macron at the door of the plane, and a woman's hands appearing to shove him in the face.
The couple, who have been married since 2007, were subsequently photographed departing the aircraft together.
Meanwhile, Macron's office later said the couple was engaging in a playful moment at the time of the incident.

"It was a moment where the President and his wife were decompressing one last time before the start of the trip by horsing around. It's a moment of complicity. It was all that was needed to give ammunition to the conspiracy theorists," Macron's office said in a statement Tuesday.
The French leader met his now wife, Brigitte, while still a student in high school and she was a married teacher.
Macron visited Trump at the White House in February. He was the first European leader to visit the White House after Trump's inauguration for his second term.

Pride parades 2025: Here's when major cities are celebrating − and why
This June marks the 55th anniversary of the first LGBTQ+ Pride march held in the United States. LGBTQ+ Pride Month, also known simply as Pride Month, is held each June, an observation of queer culture through celebration and protest. Countless communities host Pride marches, demonstrations and parties to honor queer joy, but Pride Month's roots are tied to a darker time. The first LGBTQ+ Pride march was held in June 1970, just one year after New York City Police officers invaded the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, which resulted in a six-day riot in the neighborhood. Though raids and concurring protests and marches had been ongoing for decades before, the Stonewall Riots proved to be a quintessential moment for the LGBTQ+ community in the U.S. Here's a closer look at Pride Month's origins and how 10 major U.S. cities are celebrating this summer. DEI news: National Park Service removes 'transgender' from Stonewall National Monument website Opinion: Do you celebrate pride? Are you worried about Trump's impacts on it? Tell us. Pride Month is the entire month of June. Interested in learning about Pride events in major cities near you? Here's a look at some of the top Pride celebrations across the country. Parades; live entertainment; food, drink and merchandise vendors; community resources; and family-friendly activities are central to all of these events. Can't see the above chart in your browser? Visit The U.S. federal government declared June as "Gay & Lesbian Pride Month" in 1999 under former President Bill Clinton. The month was expanded to "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month" by former President Barack Obama in 2009. However, Pride Month dates back several decades before it was "officially" recognized by the federal government. The first Pride march was actually held in New York City on June 28, 1970, on the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. In the early hours of June 28, 1969, New York City police officers raided the now historic gay bar, Stonewall Inn. In New York at the time, homosexuality was considered a criminal offense and it wouldn't be until 1980 that "same-sex relationships" were decriminalized in the state. At the time, Stonewall Inn was owned by the mafia, who didn't care about its clientele and often tipped off law enforcement to "illegal" practices, according to the Library of Congress. Though the police had raided Stonewall Inn and countless others before, the events of June 28, 1969, known as the Stonewall Riots, spearheaded a six-day uprising for LGBTQ+ rights. Though no deaths were reported as part of the riots, protesters clashed violently with law enforcement, destroying windows and barricades and setting fires. In addition to the first Pride march in 1970, the Stonewall Riots led to the establishment of advocacy organizations like the Gay Liberation Front (July 1969), Human Rights Campaign (1980), GLAAD (1985) and PFLAG (1973). It wasn't until June 2003 that intimate, consensual same-sex relationships was decriminalized federally. And in 2015, same-sex marriage was legalized by the Supreme Court. Today, the Stonewall Inn remains open for customers. The bar is also a part of the greater Stonewall National Monument, which includes the bar and neighboring visitor center, located in Greenwich Village. The rainbow Pride flag is easy to spot during Pride Month. There are a few different Pride flags that have been created over the years, but the original flag, created in 1978 by Gilbert Baker featured nine colors: Hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic and art, indigo for serenity and violet for the spirit of LGBTQ+ people, as outlined by the Humans Right Campaign.

At least 31 people have been killed in Gaza after Israeli forces fired on crowds near an aid distribution center, according to witnesses and sources.

The Gaza Health Ministry posted to Telegram: "The toll of the occupation's massacre of citizens gathered in the area designated for aid distribution, 'Al-Alam District,' in Rafah Governorate, at dawn today. More than 200 cases have arrived at hospitals so far, including 31 martyrs and dozens with serious injuries." This is a developing story with updates to follow.

Representatives Jasmine Crockett, Brandon Gill react to President Trump's "big, beautiful bill"
When it comes to their political views, U.S. Representatives Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas, and Brandon Gill, R-Flower Mound, could not be more different. They both sounded off on what President Trump calls the "big, beautiful bill". The bill narrowly passed in the U.S. House and includes tax and spending cuts, border security funding, and energy policy provisions. It extends and makes permanent the tax cuts passed during the first Trump administration. The bill adds two of the President's campaign promises: no tax on tips and no tax on overtime pay. The President also campaigned for no tax on Social Security. While that's not in the bill, seniors will receive an additional $4,000 on top of the standard deduction. Rep. Crockett joined all Democrats to oppose the legislation. "It's a disaster for the American people. This is a disaster for anyone who is not from the top 1%. They decided that they would throw a few crumbs in there to make people believe that they were doing something great for them. The kind of idea of no tax on tips and things like that, it's more so a game," Crockett told CBS News Texas during an interview for Eye On Politics. Rep. Gill was among the majority of Republicans who voted in favor of the measure. "A permanent extension of the 2017 tax cuts is the biggest tax cut for working-class families in American history. That is a huge conservative win. It's going to put more money back in the pockets of working-class families. This is something that I think we'll see broad support for now," Gill told CBS News Texas an interview. The legislation also reduces the growth of Medicaid, the healthcare program for low-income individuals, by $880 billion over a decade. The Congressional Budget Office estimates 8.6 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Gill said this has to be done. "We are reforming Medicaid to make sure that it is sustainable and viable for the core Medicaid population. In other words, what we're doing is protecting Medicaid. We've got just shy of five million, about 4.8 million Americans who are working age and able-bodied, who are on Medicaid but are not working or seeking work," Gill said. "That's a problem. Most Americans agree with us. There are 1.4 million illegal aliens that are on Medicaid right now. We're taking them off." Crockett disagreed. "I say that they are really good at spinning it. What they have decided is that they need to somehow figure out how they are going to rein in some of the spending. They just didn't want to make it seem like it was that bad," she said. Crockett also criticized the $330 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. "The number of people who are going to go hungry," Crockett said. "Unfortunately, we have a hunger issue in this country. It just doesn't seem right, because it isn't right. This is literally a reverse Robin Hood." Crockett dismissed criticism from Republicans who have said Democrats all voted against the tax cuts. "I say it's a lie, and it's a game. We know that this was just about taking care of the billionaires. It's a billionaire tax scam," said Crockett. Gill said the bill represents the difference between the Democratic and Republican parties. "As we're looking at the economy and how we measure success, Democrats measure success by the number of people that they can get on welfare rolls on the public dole. Republicans measure success by the number of people that we can lift out of poverty, that we can lift off of the welfare rolls," said Gill. The U.S. Senate is now reviewing the bill and will likely make changes.
