Brigitte Macron mediates seating at Notre Dame reopening to separate Trump and Bidens

At the reopening of Notre Dame cathedral, French officials placed First Lady Brigitte Macron between Donald Trump and the Biden family to manage seating arrangements. This decision followed a contentious U.S. election campaign. Trump, the President-elect, was seated next to French President Emmanuel Macron, while Jill Biden and their daughter Ashley were positioned on the other side of Macron. President Biden did not attend the ceremony, opting for a visit to Angola instead. Trump was seen briefly chatting with the U.S. First Lady before the event began.
