Jill Biden's Final Solo Foreign Trip

First Lady Jill Biden embarked on her final solo foreign trip, a six-day tour that includes Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and culminates in Paris for the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral, where she will be joined by President-elect Donald Trump. Throughout her journey, she will focus on initiatives supporting military families, education, and health research, reflecting her advocacy work as first lady. Biden's itinerary includes a visit to her ancestral hometown of Gesso in Sicily and events in Abu Dhabi focused on cancer research and women's health. This trip marks her 10th solo excursion abroad and emphasizes her commitment to strengthening U.S. partnerships. The Notre Dame Cathedral reopening is significant as it symbolizes resilience following the devastating fire nearly five years ago. Trump praised the restoration efforts by French President Emmanuel Macron, highlighting a moment of cooperation between the outgoing and incoming administrations.
