Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky sat down for an intimate face-to-face meeting in the Vatican this morning before the Pope's funeral. The two world leaders could be seen seated just a few feet from one another on small but ornate chairs ahead of the Pontiff's sendoff this morning during what the White House has said was a "productive" meeting.

US President Donald Trump met his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, on Saturday before the funeral of Pope Francis began, the White House confirmed. The meeting between the two top political leaders comes after they had a public spat during a media interaction in Washington DC.
