Pope Leo XIV receives White House invitation in meeting with JD VanceThe invitation came via a letter from the US president and the first lady, Melania Trump, that was delivered to the pope by the US vice-president, JD Vance, during a meeting at the Vatican on Monday morning.
A video of the start of the meeting shared by the Vatican showed Vance and his wife giving the pontiff a Chicago Bears American football jersey with Leos name on it.
As you can probably imagine, the US people are extremely excited about you, said Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019.

the pope barely handled it and set it aside on the corner of the desk unopened. Pope should have said, "You don't tell the pope what's first of all."
