Gothic cathedral was tragically ravaged by fire..... The monumental event also drew world leaders and dignitaries, including
U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump, First Lady Jill Biden, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, among others who flocked to Paris to celebrate the icon of Christian heritage.
Zelensky described the meeting with Trump and Macron as “good and productive,” adding that “President Trump is, as always, resolute. I thank him.” He said that all parties “want this war to end as soon as possible and in a just way. We spoke about our people, the situation on the ground, and a just peace.”
The BBC also reported that Trump will meet in Paris with Prince William, the heir to the British throne, to discuss the importance of the “special relationship” between the United States and the United Kingdom. This will be the first meeting between the two men since 2019 when Trump was on a state visit to Britain." Breitbart
