Paris, France — US president-elect Donald Trump on Saturday arrived in Paris to join other world leaders for the reopening of the French capital’s Notre Dame cathedral, celebrating its remarkably rapid restoration half a decade after the devastating fire.
But the sense of national accomplishment in restoring a beloved symbol of Paris has been undercut by political turmoil that has left France without a proper government and in a budget crisis. During a visit with TV cameras last week however, he somewhat undermined the suspense behind the reopening, revealing the cathedral’s freshly scrubbed limestone walls, new furniture and vaulted wooden roof cut from ancient oak trees selected from the finest forests of France.
