In a moment charged with geopolitical tension, U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky came face-to-face at the funeral of Pope Francis — their first public encounter since a major diplomatic clash over military aid and wartime accountability. The high-stakes meeting at St. Peter’s Square unfolded under the somber backdrop of a global farewell to the beloved pontiff, but all eyes were on the two leaders as they exchanged cold glances amid a sea of mourners. The funeral, attended by world dignitaries, spiritual leaders, and political heavyweights, became an unexpected stage for a symbolic showdown, as tensions between Washington and Kyiv remain high over the direction of the war effort and future U.S. support. While both leaders paid tribute to the pope’s legacy, their presence under one roof hinted at deeper divides — and possible diplomatic fireworks to come.
