PARIS – The Latest on President Donald Trump's trip to Paris. (all times local):

11:47 a.m.

The feminist activist group Femen has claimed responsibility for topless protesters who disrupted President Donald Trump's motorcade on its way to a ceremony commemorating the end of World War I.

One woman easily breached tight security along the Champs-Elysees avenue, walking in the midst of the motorcade and shouting "fake peacemaker" as the cars passed.

Officers seized her afterwards.

At least one other topless protester also made it into the avenue, but was unable to reach the cars.

Femen's topless protesters have repeatedly breached security around world leaders and major events.
