US President-elect Donald Trump made his return to the world stage at the reopening of Paris’ Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Trump took the opportunity presented by the visit to France and the fall of Syria’s Russia-backed government to pressure Moscow to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war, saying Kyiv was ready to make a deal — although the comments drew a cautious response from the Ukrainian side.
Trump also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and France’s Emmanuel Macron to discuss a potential resolution.
The president-elect has repeatedly said he would secure peace for Ukraine, even as Kyiv’s European allies worry he could push an agreement that’s more favorable to the Kremlin.
