Marco Rubio meets Pope Leo at the Vatican

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a cordial two-and-a-half-hour meeting with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday, engaging in discussions with the pontiff and senior officials like Cardinal Pietro Parolin about global conflicts, humanitarian issues, and shared commitments to peace and human dignity. The meeting occurs amid ongoing tensions between Pope Leo and US President Donald Trump, who has publicly criticized the pontiff for his opposition to the Iran war and the administration's hardline anti-immigration policies, though Rubio noted the trip was planned prior to Trump's latest remarks.
