Rubio to meet Pope Leo for direct talks

U.S. Secretary of State ​Marco Rubio's meeting ‌with Pope Leo on Thursday will include ​a "frank conversation" about ​Trump administration policies, the ⁠U.S. ambassador to ​the Holy See ​said on Tuesday.
"Nations have disagreements, and I think one ​of the ​ways that you work through ‌those ⁠is ... through fraternity and authentic dialogue," Brian Burch said.

"I think ​the ​Secretary ⁠is coming here in that ​spirit," Burch told ​journalists. "To ⁠have a frank conversation about U.S. ⁠policy, ​to engage ​in dialogue."
