Trump and Macron engage in intense handshake during Notre-Dame reopening

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron engaged in a series of firm handshakes during Trump's visit to Paris for the reopening of Notre-Dame cathedral. This marked Trump's first foreign trip since winning the election on November 5. The handshakes echoed their previous encounters, particularly a notable one in 2017 that was characterized by a strong grip. Trump and Macron's latest handshake lasted 17 seconds, shorter than their previous record of 29 seconds. The handshake drew attention online, with some supporters interpreting it as a display of dominance by Trump. The two leaders were later joined by Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy during the event.
