The third chair was removed: Trump did not let Macron into his conversation with Zelensky

US President Donald Trump did not allow the French president to participate in his conversation with Vladimir Zelensky in St. Peter's Basilica before the funeral of Pope Francis.

Irish journalist Chay Bose posted a video on the Internet showing three chairs standing in St. Peter's Basilica and Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron and Vladimir Zelensky talking to them. However, the third chair was removed next and Trump was talking only with Zelensky.

"Trump told Macron not to interfere and he did what he was told," the journalist wrote. He added that the French president wanted to participate in the conversation.

On April 27, the funeral of Pope Francis took place in Rome. In front of them, in St. Peter's Basilica, Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky had their first conversation after scandalous talks at the White House, when Zelensky was kicked out.
