Trump, Melania to attend Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome
US President Donald Trump on Monday night disclosed that he and his wife Melania will attend the funeral of Pope Francis.
In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump said: “Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome.”
“We look forward to being there!”
This comes after Trump ordered that American flags be flown at half-mast to honour the late Catholic Pontiff.
The US leader said he signed an executive order putting the flags of the country, all of them, all federal flags and state flags at half mast in honor of Pope Francis.
SOCIETY WATCH reports that Pope Francis died on Easter Monday at his residence in Rome at the age of 88.
Reacting, Trump described Pope Francis as a good man, who worked so hard and loved the world.
He said, “Rest in Peace, Pope Francis! May God bless him and all who loved him!”
