0:43Now PlayingThe cameras kept rolling for a few moments after the White House meeting with President Trump, Zelensky and European leaders officially ended, in which they were caught on a hot mic moment in a candid exchange about the press. The European leaders, including Finland President Alexander Stubb and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, expressed gratefulness and admiration for the way Trump handled the reporters. "Thank you for being so fair," Meloni could be heard saying, while making a face in seeming reference to the reporters. "You go through this every day?" Stubb asked, to which Trump nodded and said "All the time." "But he loves it," Meloni said, before adding "I never want to speak with my press!" Trump then turned the subject away from himself telling Meloni "He's a great golfer, you know," in reference to Stubb, who has played with the American president in the past.
