VATICAN CITY – America’s top diplomat Marco Rubio is scheduled to sit down with Pope Leo this Thursday for what the U.S. envoy to the Vatican describes as an open and honest discussion regarding the Trump administration’s policies.
Brian Burch, who serves as the United States ambassador to the Holy See, explained to reporters on Tuesday that countries naturally have differences of opinion, and working through these issues requires brotherhood and genuine conversation.
“I think the Secretary is coming here in that spirit,” Burch explained during his remarks to the media. “To have a frank conversation about U.S. policy, to engage in dialogue.”
The ambassador emphasized that addressing disagreements between nations is best accomplished through what he called fraternal relationships and sincere communication.
