President Trump and Ukraine's President Zelenskyy met privately ahead of the funeral of Pope Francis and "had a very productive discussion," the White House said Saturday.

It was their first face-to-face meeting since they argued in front of cameras in the Oval Office in February — and comes as efforts intensify to end Russia's war in Ukraine.

The president got a front-row seat to Pope Francis’s funeral Saturday. But that particular seat wasn’t the one that mattered most.
