Emmanuel Macron was observed wearing aviator-style sunglasses during his meeting with Sultan Haitham bin Tariq at the White House. He reportedly kept the sunglasses on throughout the subsequent negotiations. French media outlets, citing sources familiar with the presidency, indicated that Macron wore the eyewear due to eye issues.
Previously, officials had disclosed that the president suffered from a minor eye infection in January, necessitating the use of sunglasses for approximately two weeks. The style of the sunglasses proved notable when Macron appeared wearing them at the World Economic Forum. The eyewear drew attention, leading to commentary from various sources.
Notably, US President Donald Trump had publicly made light of the accessory. In contrast, within France, the style prompted humorous comparisons, with some joking that he resembled a character from the movie “Top Gun.” Despite the public commentary, the consistent wearing of the sunglasses during high-level diplomatic engagements, such as the meeting with the Sultan, remained a point of focus for observers and the press.
