President-elect Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron held a joint meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris on Saturday ahead of the reopening of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame.
Macron had sought the meeting to try to initiate a discussion on ending the war in Ukraine, an official in Macron's office said. The three leaders posed together for photographers at the Elysee Palace and then met privately.
