Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky met privately during the funeral of Pope Francis, sparking fresh speculation about US involvement in Ukraine’s future.
- Trump and Zelensky’s brief meeting happened away from cameras in Vatican City.
- Discussions reportedly touched on US support for Ukraine amid the ongoing war.
- Trump, eyeing a White House return, has criticised Biden’s handling of Ukraine.
- Zelensky continues seeking strong Western backing as the war drags on.
- The meeting adds new layers to US politics and Ukraine’s diplomatic efforts.
At a moment meant for mourning, politics still found its way in. Trump's unexpected meeting with Zelensky signals his ongoing interest in global affairs — and Ukraine's search for reliable allies. For Zelensky, every handshake counts as the war against Russia grinds on. For Trump, it’s a reminder he’s still very much in the game internationally, not just at home.
