Trump to attend Notre Dame reopening as Macron faces political challenges

Donald Trump will attend the reopening of Notre Dame in Paris this weekend, marking his first visit to Europe since the US election. The cathedral has undergone a €700 million restoration after a devastating fire in 2019. French President Emmanuel Macron will speak at the ceremony, which has been moved indoors due to bad weather. The event will include a blessing and the first performance of the cathedral's organ since the fire. Macron faces political challenges, including a recent no-confidence vote against his prime minister and concerns over a trade deal affecting French farmers. Despite these issues, he welcomed Trump's attendance, highlighting the significance of the cathedral's restoration.
