US President-elect Donald Trump announced that he would arrive in the French capital this Saturday to attend the opening ceremony of the restored Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris, APA reports.
"It is an honor to announce that I will be traveling to Paris, France, on Saturday to attend the reopening of the Magnificent and Historic Notre Dame Cathedral, which has been fully restored after a devastating fire five years ago," Trump stated in his account on Truth Social web platform.
French daily Le Parisien reported that Trump earlier opted against attending the opening ceremony of the cathedral. President-elect Trump’s visit to Paris will be his first foreign trip since winning the US presidential election in November.
Trump defeated Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in the November 5 election. In addition, the Republicans managed to take control of the Senate. They may also win a majority in the House of Representatives. Trump's inauguration will take place on January 20, 2025.
"[French] 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!" Trump added in his post on the Truth Social network.
