VATICAN CITY, May 5 (Reuters) – 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.”
