President-elect Donald Trump has announced he will travel to Paris to attend the grand reopening of the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral this weekend. This will be his first trip abroad since winning the U.S. election.
Restoring a Historic Icon
Notre-Dame, one of the most cherished landmarks in Paris, was badly damaged by a fire over five years ago. Since then, workers have been working hard to restore the cathedral’s stunning features, including its tall spire, beautiful stained-glass windows, and intricate stone carvings. Now, it will open again to tourists and the faithful, shining brighter than ever before.
Trump shared his praise for French President Emmanuel Macron on his social media platform, Truth Social, saying, “President Macron has done a wonderful job ensuring that Notre-Dame has been restored to its full level of glory.”
An Invitation to a Special Day
The French government invited Trump to attend the reopening ceremony, and his team has been in talks with Macron’s office to arrange the trip. The event will be a significant moment, marking the completion of the long restoration process after the devastating fire in 2019.
Though Trump has not traveled outside the U.S. since winning the election, he has made other trips within the country, including attending a sporting event in New York and visiting Texas with Elon Musk to see a rocket launch.
This visit to Paris will be a memorable one, and it’s expected to be a big moment for both Trump and the French people as they celebrate the return of one of the world’s most famous cathedrals.
