Donald Trump's 5-word warning before Ukraine peace talks at Pope's funeral
A professional lip reader has now revealed the exchange of words between Trump and Macron that took place moments before the pair sat down with Zelensky
An eagle-eyed lip reader has revealed the five-word warning Donald Trump gave to France's president at Pope Francis' funeral yesterday.
This happened just before Trump took advantage of the historic moment to sit down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Photographers captured the intense meeting in St Peter's Basilica as they both sat face-to-face to iron out their differences after a tense meeting at the White House.

After Macron embraced Zelensky, Trump pulled the French leader aside.
Professional lip reader Nicola Hickling said the US president then reached out to both of them and drew them closer.
She explained: "He says to Macron 'you are not in the right here, I need you to do me a favour, you should not be here.'
"Zelensky 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 told The Sun.
Hickling's further analysis of video footage of the meeting detailed how Zelensky said: "I would like you to do that, but not this way."
Trump replied: "It's a very interesting strategy. You have reassurance."
After attending a funeral, President Zelensky spoke with reporters to share that his discussions encompassed various topics aimed at safeguarding the "lives of our people".
His expectation is for a "full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out", he stated.
"Very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results."
Following the meeting, Donald Trump commented: "With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days."
He continued: "It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions?' Too many people are dying! ! !"
