Continuing tensions between Washington and the Vatican over aggression against Iran US Secretary of State Rubio traveled to the Vatican amid unprecedented verbal tension between the US President and the leader of the Catholic Church. In recent weeks, Trump has repeatedly criticized the Pope's positions on US military operations against Iran, calling him "weak in the face of crime" and "disastrous in foreign policy." Pope Leo wrote in a message: "God does not bless any war. Anyone who follows Christ, the Prince of Peace, will not stand with those who once held swords and today drop bombs." @iribnews

News Editor Shane McGinley discusses whether President Trump’s criticism of Pope Leo could damage support among Catholic voters. • • #Trump #PopeLeo #MidtermElections @shanemcg3 @Leighanngerrans
Donald Trump to reporters: I'm going to meet with President Xi Jinping. I think it's going to be a very, very great meeting. He's been a friend of mine and I've had a very good relationship with him. We've had no problems. Everyone was saying, "Oh, China, China," but we've had no problems with China.
"We have something to talk about with them." US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Pope Leo XIV. The visit, which followed a series of harsh remarks from US President Donald Trump against the pontiff, was an attempt to restore relations with the Vatican—even before reaching out to the Italian authorities. And it appears the top US diplomat has managed to smooth things over somewhat in relations between Washington and the Holy See. The Vatican and the White House did not disclose details of their meeting, which lasted two and a half hours. But by all accounts, it ended on a positive note. Marco Rubio hinted that, given the influence of the Catholic Church and the Pope in particular, relations with the Vatican will need to be maintained one way or another.
