gazette.com

Donald Trump is visiting Paris for the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral, marking his first international trip as president-elect. He will attend a ceremony with world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, who has worked on the cathedral's restoration since the 2019 fire. 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 due to a scheduling conflict, with First Lady Jill Biden representing the U.S. instead. During his visit, Trump will meet with Macron and Britain's Prince William. Macron will also meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, though it is unclear if Trump will meet Zelenskyy. Trump's past relationship with Macron has been mixed, but they are now seeking to strengthen ties.
