Donald Trump will be in Paris this weekend to attend the Notre-Dame Cathedral reopening alongside 50 other world leaders, marking an immediate return to the international stage for the president-elect.
The cathedral is reopening to worshippers and the public alike after more than five years of reconstruction following a devastating fire in 2019 that engulfed and nearly destroyed the soaring Paris masterpiece, as Breitbart News reported.
The ceremonies being held Saturday and Sunday will be high-security affairs, with upwards of 50 heads of state and government expected to attend.
Trump announced that he will be among them in a post on his Truth Social site Monday evening. He wrote:
It is an honor to announce that I will be traveling to Paris, France, on Saturday to attend the re-opening of the Magnificent and Historic Notre Dame Cathedral, which has been fully restored after a devastating fire five years ago.
President Emmanuel Macron has done a wonderful job ensuring that Notre Dame has been restored to its full level of glory, and even more so. It will be a very special day for all!
