Donald Trump finally meets Pope Francis

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday finally met Pope Francis, after they clashed at a distance on issues including migration and climate change.



Trump's first foreign trip takes him to Vatican City, for a short private audience on the third leg of his overseas trip where he and Pope Francis met for the first time.
Trump arrived for the meeting along with his wife Melania, daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
They were led by the Swiss Guard from the Vatican courtyard to the offices of Pope Francis.

Pope Francis and president Trump have taken verbal jabs at each other in the past with Francis, referring to then-candidate Trump’s plan to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall, with the statement: “A person who only thinks about building walls, wherever they may be, and not about building bridges, is not a Christian.” 

Trump then replied that a religious leader voicing such sentiments was “disgraceful” and accused the pontiff of being a pawn of the Mexican government.
