Trump travels to Paris for Notre Dame reopening and meeting with Macron
Donald Trump is traveling to Paris for the reopening celebration of Notre Dame Cathedral, which was damaged by fire in 2019. This marks his first international trip as president-elect. He will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron during the event. Macron's office downplayed the significance of Trump's invitation, stating that other former politicians were also invited. President Joe Biden was invited but will not attend, with First Lady Jill Biden representing the U.S. instead. Macron aims to strengthen ties with Trump, who has previously criticized him. The two leaders will also meet separately with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy amid ongoing support for Ukraine against Russia.
