Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

Trump makes sure that Macron didn’t meet Zelenskyy

At Pope Francis’s funeral in St. Peter’s Basilica, a significant diplomatic moment unfolded involving former US President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. A professional lip reader revealed that Trump issued a stern five-word warning to Macron, stating, “You are not in the right,” during a brief conversation before a mini peace summit with Zelenskyy.

The meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy marked their first since a contentious White House encounter in February 2025. Described by both leaders as potentially historic, the discussion aimed for a full and unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine. Trump acknowledged the strategic nature of their discussion and criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for recent missile attacks on Kyiv, questioning his commitment to peace.

During the funeral, Macron appeared to snub Trump by ignoring his outstretched hand, a moment that quickly sparked controversy and online debate. Later, Macron and Trump exchanged a handshake during the funeral’s sign of peace, reportedly prompted by Melania Trump.

The discussions take place amidst the backdrop of Trump’s proposed seven-point peace plan between Ukraine and Russia. Despite past tensions, Trump’s and Zelenskyy’s dialogue seemed constructive, signaling a possible step forward in diplomatic efforts for lasting peace in Eastern Europe. The funeral also saw international support for Ukraine, evidenced by public applause for Zelenskyy.
