Biden at Vatican to Talk Climate, Poverty With Pope Francis
“‘There’s a great deal of agreement and overlap with the president and Pope Francis on a range of issues: poverty, combating the climate crisis, ending the COVID-19 pandemic,’ Psaki said. ‘These are all hugely important, impactful issues that will be the centerpiece of what their discussion is when they meet.’
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the president and pontiff would meet privately before talks with expanded delegations. Biden is visiting Rome and then Glasgow, Scotland, for back-to-back summits, first a gathering for leaders of Group of 20 leading and developing nations and then a global climate conference.”
