Notre Dame Cathedral reopens in Paris, with Trump and Macron attending a global celebration of its remarkable restoration.
The restored Notre Dame Cathedral welcomes dignitaries, including Trump, to a ceremony celebrating resilience, faith, and artistry.
The Republican confirmed Monday he had accepted an invitation from French President Emmanuel Macron to attend the grand re-opening of the 850-year-old edifice which was nearly lost to flames in April 2019. The presence of Trump is likely to encourage other world political leaders to attend as they seek to build relations and head off possible disputes over trade and defence before his January 20 inauguration.After Trump first took office in 2017, his relations with Macron — then also a fresh new face on the world stage — had the initial makings of a “bromance”.
The apocalyptic images were even seen by some as a sign of the demise of Western civilisation, with the edifice saved from complete collapse only by the heroic intervention of Parisian firefighters. Accompanied by Paris’ archbishop Laurent Ulrich and top city politicians, he gazed at the restored pale-coloured stonework in the nave and praised the edifice as “much more welcoming” and “sublime”.Saturday’s ceremony is set to mix public celebration, politics, diplomacy and religion.
