"Following the fire that devastated Notre-Dame de Paris, a world heritage masterpiece, on 15 April 2019, ArcelorMittal, the global steel company with a major manufacturing presence in France, wishes to support the reconstruction of the cathedral," ArcelorMittal said in a statement.

ArcelorMittal said: "The company is ready to donate steel as part of the reinforcing and reconstruction process."
