The President of the United States, Donald Trump, held a “very productive” meeting in Rome with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodimir Zelenski, shortly before he attended the funeral of Pope Francis in the Plaza de San Pedro, as announced by the White House.

Trump has also expressed his frustration for the slowness of Ukraine in the process to sign an economic association agreement.
It has also been informed that the teams of both leaders are already working to arrange the next appointment for the negotiation.
