A lip reader has given their take on the 'five-word warning’ Donald Trump gave to Emmanuel Macron yesterday (26 April) at the pope's funeral.

The leaders crossed paths as foreign delegates, royals and mourners filled the Vatican for Pope Francis’ funeral.

And just before the proceedings began, Trump met with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, marking the first time they’ve been face-to-face since their tense meeting at the White House in February.

The impromptu meet took place inside the St Peters Basilica but just beforehand, they were spotted with Sir Keir Starmer and France’s Macron.

Images showed the French president embracing the Ukrainian before the US leader pulled him aside.

According to professional lip reader Nicola Hickling, he gave Macron a particularly frosty warning. She analysed the interaction for The Sun as she noted how Trump reached his hands out to both of them.

"He says to Macron 'you are not in the right here, I need you to do me a favour, you should not be here’,” Hickling claims.

"Zelenskyy nods in agreement and the vicar who is in front of the camera turns his head to the side looking worried at what he has heard between them."

She also went through footage from what has been described as a ‘mini peace summit’ between the Ukrainian and American leaders.

Apparently, Zelenskyy said: “I would like you to do that, but no this way."

And Hickling claims Trump replied: "It's a very interesting strategy. You have reassurance."

A White House official told Sky News the pair had a 'very productive discussion' during the brief sit down and reportedly agreed to hold further talks following the funeral.

And the Ukrainian later wrote on Twitter that the pair had shared a ‘good meeting’.

"We discussed a lot one on one. Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people,” he wrote.

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

"Very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results. Thank you @POTUS."

Zelenskyy’s spokesperson, Serhii Nykyforov, said the meeting with Trump lasted around 15 minutes.

Trump previously accused the Ukrainian leader of ‘gambling with World War 3’ as he ended up leaving the White House early after their heated discussion which was live in front of press.

Meanwhile yesterday, the American was slammed for showing ‘no respect’ as he was accused of breaking ‘dress code’ and using his phone at the funeral.
