Trump and Macron share lengthy handshake at Notre Dame reopening in Paris

World leaders gathered in Paris on Saturday for the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral. A handshake between U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron lasted 17 seconds and drew attention on social media. Trump arrived over 40 minutes late, marking his first international trip since winning a second presidential term. The ceremony was led by Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, celebrating the cathedral's restoration after a devastating fire in 2019. The restoration cost around 700 million euros and met a five-year deadline, although some work remains unfinished. Notre Dame, which previously attracted 12 million visitors annually, is expected to see increased attendance after reopening.
