“We’ve had a good time together and we had a lot of success, really great success, working together on defense and offense, too,” Bloomberg quoted Trump as saying about Macron.
In his first international trip as president-elect, Trump will be joined by several world leaders to celebrate the renovation of the Notre Dame cathedral which was burned down in a fire in 2019.
Donald Trump will also be meeting Prince William before the re-opening of the Notre Dame, with First Lady Jill Biden who has joined instead of president Biden as the United States representative for the event.
Trump is one of the 1,500 guests invited to the re-opening of the 861-year-old heritage structure, led by Archbishop Laurent Ulrich. The president-elect will be accompanied by a special security detail and the high profile event will be closed to all tourists and non residents, with a strict police patrol around it.
