Vance visits Vatican
US Vice-President JD Vance on Saturday met with the Vatican’s No. 2 official amid tensions over the US crackdown on migrants, with the Holy See reaffirming good relations but noting “an exchange of opinions” over current international conflicts and humanitarian situations involving migrants, refugees and prisoners.
The Vatican issued a statement after Vance, a Catholic convert, met with the secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and the foreign minister, Archbishop Paul Gallagher, before getting a private tour of the Sistine Chapel.
“There was an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners,” the statement said.
