On December 7, 2024, President-elect Donald Trump made a notable appearance at the reopening of Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral, his first international trip following his election victory on November 5. The ceremony saw a gathering of world leaders and prominent figures, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Elon Musk, Jill Biden, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prince William, and Salma Hayek. The event was a momentous occasion as the cathedral, severely damaged by a fire in April 2019, had been painstakingly restored. The fire destroyed Notre-Dame’s spire and roof, threatening the structure’s collapse. Now, after years of restoration, the 860-year-old symbol of French heritage was unveiled with a new spire and revitalized architecture, drawing global admiration.
