One of Pope Francis' final encounters before his death was with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who visited the Vatican over the weekend.

On JD Vance’s final morning in Rome, the headlines that the pope had snubbed him were already a day old. Donald Trump’s vice president had come on the busiest weekend of the church’s Jubilee year, expecting a meeting with a sickly pope who had already condemned his policies.

The Vatican said they met for a few minutes at the Domus Santa Marta “to exchange Easter greetings.” Vance and the pope have tangled sharply over migration and the Trump administration’s plans to deport migrants en masse.
