Pope Leo XIV Set for Talks with Rubio Next Week
(MENAFN) Pope Leo XIV is poised to welcome US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for a high-profile audience at the Vatican as early as May 7, in a meeting that signals growing diplomatic engagement between Washington and the Holy See.
An Italian news agency broke the news Sunday, reporting that while the encounter is anticipated, it has yet to be formally inscribed on the pontiff's official schedule — leaving the exact timing subject to confirmation.
Beyond his audience with the pope, Rubio is also expected to hold separate talks with Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, according to the news agency, which cited sources familiar with the planned visit.
The back-to-back engagements point to a substantive diplomatic push, with the Vatican's top two figures both set to receive Washington's chief diplomat within the same visit. No agenda details have been disclosed, though such meetings typically span geopolitical flashpoints, humanitarian concerns, and broader questions of global stability.
The news agency did not specify what prompted the scheduling of the visit or elaborate on the topics expected to dominate discussions.
