French President Emmanuel Macron was spotted wining and dining China 's President Xi Jinping and his wife in the Alps as he attempts to end Beijing 's support for Putin.
Macron welcomed Xi to a mountain restaurant outside the village of Bagnere-de-Bigorre to explore these issues in relative privacy and enjoy local delicacies. Images from the glam event show the leaders and their wives, Brigitte Macron and Peng Liyuan, enjoying glasses of wine and nibbling on cheese in a restaurant at the Tourmalet Pass.
