From Reuters:
U.S. Vice President JD Vance is planning to visit Italy later this month, a diplomatic source said on Tuesday, highlighting the apparently warm ties between Washington and Rome. Italy is one of the few countries in Europe that has looked to accommodate President Donald Trump, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni recently saying she backed Vance’s scathing attack on European leaders that he made in Germany in February.
Vance is a Roman Catholic but would be unlikely to see Pope Francis if he comes at Easter, with the pontiff still recovering from double pneumonia and not yet receiving visitors.
