After an eventful evening in Qatar, on December 18, to console Kylian Mbappé and the France team, after a hair-raising final against Argentina, President Emmanuel Macron continues his tour, far from Paris. On December 19, he was on the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier with the armed forces to share a Christmas meal, and on December 20, he joined Jordan to attend the “Baghdad Conference for Cooperation and Partnership“.

When he got off the plane, in Amman, the capital, the husband of Brigitte Macron was not welcomed by the royal couple formed by King Abdallah II of Jordan, and his wife, Rania. The parents had sent Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein, who greeted French President Emmanuel Macron, upon his arrival at Amman airport.

On July 17, with Rajwa Al-Saif, daughter of a wealthy Saudi businessman, they announced that they were getting married.
