ALBAWABA - After French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's viral "cocaine" video, a new AI-generated clip showcased the two politicians dancing alongside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer as a result of what was inside the tissue.

The "cocaine" video flooded several social media platforms after viewers spotted Macron and Merz hiding a tissue from the cameras, sparking speculation and debate over what the tissue might've contained. Additionally, viewers also accused Germany's Merz of trying to hide a "coke spoon."

On the contrary, the AI-generated clip highlighted the politicians partying together inside the train room, while they danced and stripped off their clothing, as a result of "cocaine" consumption.

According to some Russian media, Macron, Merz, and Starmer were on board a train while returning from Kyiv after a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

To combat the ongoing rumors launched by social media users globally, France took the matter into its hands and issued a clarification stating that the white object in question was a tissue. Several sources claim that the culprits behind the rumors were "far-right pro-Russian accounts." 

The widely spread video resulted in comments from users criticizing the European leaders, with comments describing them as "white powder sniffers" and "drug addicts."

Other social media users took to the politicians' defense by stating that it's clearly a tissue. A user on X (formerly known as Twitter) wrote, "So disingenuous. I don’t like anyone in this shot but making stuff up is pathetic."

Another added, "Stop spreading misinformation, that's clearly a tissue..."
