Pope talks underscore US-Vatican 'strong relationship’

Talks between Pope Leo XIV and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, following weeks of Vatican-White House tensions, "underscored the strong relationship" between the two sides, the U.S. State Department said Thursday.

"The meeting underscored the strong relationship between the United States and the Holy See and their shared commitment to promoting peace and human dignity," spokesperson Tommy Pigott said.
