Trump and Macron's handshake goes viral at Notre Dame reopening

US President-elect Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron met at the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral on Saturday. Their handshake lasted 17 seconds, sparking social media interest, but did not surpass their 2017 record of 29 seconds. Trump arrived over 40 minutes late for the event, marking his first international engagement since winning a second term. The handshake featured a tug-of-war style grip, reminiscent of their previous encounters. Both leaders expressed mutual respect during the meeting. Macron called Trump's visit a "great honour" for France, while Trump noted their strong relationship from his first term. Notre Dame reopened after being closed for five years due to a fire.
