WASHINGTON The White House said Tuesday it is reaching out to the Vatican to set up a possible meeting President Trump and Pope Francis, little more than a year after they clashed over Trumps proposed anti-immigration wall between the United States and Mexico.
We will be reaching out to the Vatican to see if an audience with the pope can be accommodated, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said. We would be honored to have an audience with his holiness.
Vatican spokesman Greg Burke told AFP that, as of the end of last week we had not had an official request for an audience but for sure we would welcome it.
Trump is scheduled to be in Italy in late May for a Group of Seven nations summit in Sicily. The Italy trip follows a stop in Brussels, Belgium, for a NATO summit.

There is not enough holy water in Italy to clean the Vatican after this.
