Trump To Attend Pope Francis' Funeral In Rome

US President Donald Trump said that he will attend Pope Francis' funeral in Rome after the Pope's recent death. He announced it on Truth Social. The funeral is expected to bring many world leaders to the Vatican.

"Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome," Trump said on Truth Social.

Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, died on Monday after suffering a stroke and cardiac arrest, the Vatican said, ending an often turbulent reign in which he sought to overhaul an ancient and divided institution.

He was 88, and had suffered double pneumonia this year, but his death came as a shock after he appeared in St. Peter's Square in an open-air popemobile to greet cheering crowds on Easter Sunday, suggesting his convalescence was going well.
