Trump To Attend Reopening Of Notre Dame Cathedral

Politico reports:

Donald Trump says he will attend the reopening of Notre Dame in Paris on Saturday. The visit will be his first major outing since winning the election.

“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 said Monday in a post on Truth Social.

The reopening of the cathedral, which was badly damaged in a 2019 fire, will be a major global affair. Heads of state and government from about 50 nations are expected to attend, according to The Associated Press.

During the 2019 fire, Trump suggested using “flying water tankers” to douse the flames, which French authorities said would have collapsed the structure.
