A lip reader deciphering an interaction between Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron at Pope Francis' funeral claims the POTUS issued a strong warning to the French president.

Despite Saturday (26 April) being the funeral of Pope Francis, it also gave the opportunity for world leaders to come together and have some all-important conversations.

Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy were seen sat opposite each other, for the first time since that awkward clash at the White House in February.

The conversation, which took place in the halls of St Peter's Basilica, appeared a 'productive' one, as Zelenskyy later took to social media to share what had been discussed.

But moments before the 'historic' conversation, there was a tense interaction between the President and French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron.

According to a lip reading expert, Trump issued a stern warning Macron ahead of the ceremony.

Speaking to The Sun, Nicola Hickling revealed what allegedly was said.

"Donald reached his hands out to both of them and brought them towards him," she said.

The expert said: "He said to Macron 'you are not in the right here, I need you to do me a favour, you should not be here.'

"Zelenskyy nodded in agreement and the vicar who was in front of the camera, turned his head to the side looking worried at what he has heard between them."

Following his short meeting with Trump in St Peter's basilica, Zelenskyy posted on X and said: "Good meeting. We discussed a lot one on one. Hoping for results on everything we covered.

"Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire.

"Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out."

He concluded: "Very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results. Thank you."

Following the conversation, Trump urged Vladimir Putin to stop killing the people of Ukraine.

Speaking yesterday (27 April), he said: "I want him to stop shooting, sit down, and sign a deal. We have the confines of a deal, I believe, and I want him to sign it."

This afternoon (28 April), the Russian president announced that The Kremlin have proposed a ceasefire with Ukraine to take place between 8-10 May.

It says it expects Ukraine to reciprocate Russia's temporary ceasefire but would respond to any 'violations'.

Tyla has contacted the White House for a comment.
