President Joe Biden met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Friday behind closed doors, where the details of their conversation remain unknown. In a video the Vatican released after the meeting, showing the leaders exchanging gifts, one of Biden’s to the pontiff echoed the themes of both toughness under attack and their shared hope for a more peaceful word. While Biden said he wasn’t sure whether it was appropriate, he gave Francis a military coin that he said American presidents bestow on warriors and leaders. Before the meeting, much attention was put on whether the leaders would discuss an issue on which they disagree – Biden's support for abortion rights. The White House said after the meeting that Biden lauded the pope's leadership in fighting the climate crises and in advocating for an equitable global economic recovery from the pandemic. 📷: Vatican Media via @apnews
