US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky came face-to-face at the Vatican on Saturday ahead of Pope Francis' funeral, weeks after a public spat in Washington DC. Their private meeting, described as "very productive" by the White House, was their first since Zelensky sought US security guarantees amid the Ukraine conflict — a move Trump criticized as "gambling with World War III." Trump and First Lady Melania attended the funeral alongside world leaders. A Ukrainian official confirmed the leaders plan another meeting soon, signaling a possible thaw in tensions.
