French media reported that French President Emmanuel Macron wore sunglasses during meetings with the Sultan of Oman on Monday due to an eye problem that attracted much attention at the World Economic Forum in Davos a few months ago.
Emmanuel Macron has once again appeared wearing his famous ‘Top Gun’ sunglasses, which caused a great deal of commotion a few months ago. The French president wore the glasses during a state visit by the Sultan of Oman and the King of Thailand. He did not do so to ward off the sun, but rather because he was reportedly suffering from an “eye problem” again.
Emmanuel Macron welcomed the Sultan of Oman to the Elysée, with his famous sunglasses on his eyes. He had done the buzz by wearing them last January in Davos, both outside and inside. Elysée justified the wearing of glasses by an ophthalmic problem. The sales of this model had then exploded, but this was not enough to save the manufacturer, in judicial liquidation.
Already in January the French head of state appeared with sunglasses. Now there may be another problem with his eye.
