French President Emmanuel Macron was spotted jogging through the streets of Ankara on Wednesday morning ahead of the NATO summit scheduled to take place in the city later that day. The footage shows Macron surrounded by a tight security detail ensuring his safety as he runs. This morning routine has become a consistent practice for Macron during his recent foreign visits, where he makes a point to run in the host city.

The sight of Macron jogging with a security ring has sparked discussions on social media about the potential security risks for a leader of a major global power engaging in such public physical activity abroad. The day before, during Macron's visit to Syria, an unusual security incident occurred when several bombs exploded near the area he had been just minutes earlier.

Later on Wednesday, world leaders are expected to convene for the official NATO summit, where Iran and Ukraine are anticipated to be central topics of discussion.
