Pope Leo to meet US Secretary of State Rubio Thursday: Vatican

Pope Leo XIV will meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday, the Vatican said Monday, just weeks after serious criticism of the pontiff by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The private visit with the top U.S. diplomat, who is Catholic, will take place at 11:30 am (0930 GMT), according to a calendar published on the Vatican's media site.
