JD Vance Met Pope Francis Hours Before His Death
Vice President JD Vance was one of the last people to meet with Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, April 21, at age 88. The meeting, held the day before, came amid tensions between the Vatican and the Trump administration over issues like migration.
Despite their differences, the talks were described as cordial, focusing on global conflicts and humanitarian concerns. Vance later expressed his condolences, saying he was grateful for the chance to meet the Pope, though he appeared visibly unwell.
