U.S President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed on Saturday during a short exchange on the sidelines of Pope Francis’ funeral to meet at a later stage, von der Leyen’s spokesperson said.
“In their brief exchange, President von der Leyen and President Trump agreed to meet,” Paula Pinho said in a post on X. No further details were immediately available.
