President Donald Trump is set to attend Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome, among over 50 world leaders. Despite past tensions regarding immigration and climate change, Trump expressed respect for the Pope after his passing at age 88 following a stroke. While originally intending to hold sideline meetings with other leaders, Trump reconsidered, acknowledging the solemnity of the occasion. U.S. flags will be flown at half-staff in honor of Francis, whom Trump previously criticized yet later referred to as a 'good man.'
"The Argentine pontiff and the American president sparred early in their relationship over immigration, with Francis calling anyone who builds walls not Christian."
"Despite their disagreements, Trump labeled the late pope as a 'good man who worked hard and loved the world.'"
