US VP Vance meets pope's right-hand man at Vatican

US Vice President JD Vance meets with the Holy See's second-highest official at the Vatican, just two months after Pope Francis criticized the new US administration. Vance, a Catholic convert, and his delegation hold a meeting with Cardinal Pietro Parolin and Paul Richard Gallagher. Vance also meets with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to discuss trade tariffs. There is no confirmation if Vance will attend Easter mass with the pope. The meeting between Vance and the pope could be tense, following Francis' criticism of Trump's immigration policies.
