Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky met for 15 minutes inside St Peter's Basilica before Pope Francis' funeral. The White House called the meeting "productive," while Zelensky described it as "symbolic" with "potential to become historic." Their conversation followed Trump's claim that Russia and Ukraine were "very close to a deal," after his envoy's talks with Putin. This was their first meeting since a tense Oval Office encounter in February.
