Macron and other European leaders aim to persuade Trump to maintain robust support for Ukraine.
A Day of Diplomacy and Celebration
The day was marked by a blend of high diplomacy and historic celebration.
Accompanying Trump was a team of key advisers, including incoming Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, real estate investor Steve Witkoff, and Middle East adviser Massad Boulos.
Trump also met with Britain’s Prince William at the British ambassador’s residence, where the two exchanged cordial remarks.
Prince William was also scheduled to meet with First Lady Jill Biden, who represented the United States at the Notre Dame ceremony in place of President Joe Biden, citing a scheduling conflict.
Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and X and a prominent supporter of Trump’s campaign, also attended the Notre Dame event.
A Call for Unity and Peace
Reflecting on the day, Macron posted on X: “United States, Ukraine, and France. Together on this historic day. United for Notre-Dame. Let’s continue to work together for peace and security.”
