US President Donald Trump said his advice for French President Emmanuel Macron, who has been shown on a video through an open plane door being pushed in the face by his wife, was "make sure the door remains closed."

Asked about the incident by reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he had spoken to Macron in the wake of the video that showed his wife, Brigitte, giving him a shove on their plane.

Macron has shrugged off the incident as a moment of playfulness. "He's fine," Trump said of Macron.

British police have arrested four people in connection with a pro-Palestinian protest last week in which military planes were sprayed with paint at an air base in England, authorities said on Friday.

A woman, 29, and two men aged 36 and 24, were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, while another woman, 41, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, Reuters quoted the police as saying in a statement.

Two activists from the Palestine Action group broke into the air base in central England on June 20, damaging and spraying red paint over two planes used for refueling and transport, an act that was condemned by Prime Minister Keir Starmer as "disgraceful."

Within days the government set out plans to use anti-terrorism laws to
ban Palestine Action, making it a criminal offence to belong to the group. Interior minister Yvette Cooper then said its actions had become more aggressive and caused millions of pounds of damage.

The government also said last week that it was reviewing security across all British defense sites following the incident.
