Trump visits Paris for Notre Dame reopening and meeting with Macron

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Donald Trump is visiting 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, noting that other former politicians were also invited. President Joe Biden was invited but will not attend due to a scheduling conflict, with First Lady Jill Biden representing the U.S. instead. Trump's visit comes as European leaders seek to maintain U.S. support for Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia. Ukrainian President Volodyr Zelenskyy will meet with Macron separately, but it is unclear if he will meet Trump.
