Image JULIEN DE ROSA / AFPTrump’s decision to attend the celebrations in Paris to mark the renaissance of fire-damaged Notre Dame had led to speculation that Zelensky would also travel for his first face-to-face meeting with the incoming US leader since his re-election.
Trump’s attendance has turned the Notre Dame event into a major diplomatic gathering, with around 40 heads of state of government set to be present, many of whom will be hoping to build relations with the mercurial Republican before his January 20 inauguration.

He would attend “at the request of His Majesty’s Government on behalf of the United Kingdom” but would travel without his wife, Catherine, who is recovering from cancer. The evening will wrap up with a televised concert featuring music by Chinese pianist Lang Lang, South African opera singerand possibly US singer and fashion designer Pharrell Williams who is widely rumoured to perform.
