Macron, Starmer, and Merz: Tissue, Not Drugs, in Viral Train Video

On Friday night, European leaders met on a train en route to Ukraine to discuss a potential peace deal. A video of the meeting between President Macron, UK Prime Minister Starmer, and German Chancellor Merz sparked online speculation about drug use. The speculation centered on a white item on the table, which was later clarified by the French presidency as a tissue. The presidency stated, "When European unity becomes inconvenient, disinformation goes so far as to make a simple tissue look like drugs." The incident highlights the spread of misinformation in the digital age and the importance of verifying information before sharing it. The incident underscores the need for responsible reporting and critical thinking in the face of online speculation.
