Pope Francis’ death has drawn global mourning, with thousands visiting St Peter’s Basilica ahead of his funeral this weekend.
World leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, will attend—along with US President Donald Trump, despite past tensions.
Francis, who died at 88, had criticized some of Trump’s policies, calling them “not Christian,” particularly the proposed US-Mexico border wall.
