Trump meets Macron and Zelensky before Notre-Dame reopening ceremony in Paris

President-elect Trump met with world leaders before the reopening ceremony from Notre-Dame Cathedral as he returns to the world stage after his election victory.

Trump traveled to France on Saturday to attend the reopening of Notre Dame, the famous cathedral that suffered severe damage in a fire five years ago. The trip marks Trump's first international trip since being elected to a second non-consecutive term.

Trump's diplomacy was on full display during his trip as he met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysée presidential palace in Paris. The couple was then joined by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“It is a great honor for the French to welcome you five years later,” Macron said of Trump. “And you were, at that time, president for the first time. And I remember the solidarity and your immediate action. So welcome back. We are very happy to have you here.”
