1:25Now PlayingSecretary of State Marco Rubio met with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican early Thursday, days after President Trump reignited his feud with the American-born pontiff over the Iran war.
Vatican News posted photos of Rubio, a practicing Catholic, and the pope to the social platform X.
During the meeting, the two discussed Israeli attacks on Lebanon, as part of its mission to defeat Hezbollah, and the state of affairs in Iran and Cuba, according to Vatican News.
Trump has repeatedly criticized Leo for his stance on the U.S. immigration policy and the ongoing conflict in Iran. The pope has cited Catholic teaching in urging world governments to accept migrants and seek peace over war.
