Trump intends to attend the opening ceremony of Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral in France

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said he will attend the reopening ceremony of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on Saturday, December 7.

"I am honored to announce that I will be traveling to Paris, France on Saturday to attend the reopening of the magnificent historic Notre Dame Cathedral," the politician wrote on his Truth Social media account

He also recognized the work done by French President Emmanuel Macron and added that the cathedral has been restored "to its full glory."

In April 2019, the largest fire in history broke out at the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. The spire collapsed, the flames engulfed the supporting structure. As established by the investigation, the fire started at the top, where restoration work was underway at the time. The exact cause of the fire was not made public. In March 2023 it was reported about the completion of an important stage of restoration of Notre Dame de Paris - restorers mounted the spire of the cathedral. On December 31, 2023, French President Emmanuel Macron announced in his New Year's address that the cathedral would be reopened to visitors on December 8, 2024.
