British diplomats arrange meeting between Prince William and president-elect Trump in Paris

British diplomats successfully arranged a meeting between Prince William and U.S. president-elect Donald Trump in Paris. This follows improved relations and established contacts between the British embassy and Trump's team, unlike the previous transition in 2016. The 40-minute meeting was facilitated by months of diplomatic efforts, including briefings for the prince on key issues. The British aim to leverage royal influence, as Trump's preference for grandeur and recognition is well-known. French diplomats also played a role, initiating the invitation from President Macron. Despite not officially taking office until January, Trump's actions and statements are already significant on the global stage.
