NextImg:Trump Announces Pope Francis Funeral Plans, Melania Also Confirmed

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he and First Lady Melania Trump will be traveling to Vatican City for the funeral of Pope Francis.

The head of the Catholic Church died early Monday morning at the age of 88.

Though he had a hard battle with pneumonia and other respiratory issues earlier this year, the cause of his death was a stroke, which led to a coma, followed by heart failure, according to Vatican News.

The pope had made an appearance at an Easter service Sunday and met briefly with Vice President J.D. Vance that same day.

Trump posted on Truth Social, “Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome. We look forward to being there!”

The first lady is Catholic.

Trump was asked what his message to America’s Catholics was following the death of the pope.

“We love you all. We’re with you all,” Trump responded, adding it was an honor to have the support of the majority of Catholic voters during the last election.

When he was kicking off the White House Easter egg roll Monday, Trump told those on hand that he had signed an executive order directing all flags to be flown at half-staff on federal and state buildings to honor Pope Francis.

The president said, “He was a good man, worked hard. He loved the world, and it’s an honor to do that.”
