President Trump meets with Pope Francis at the Vatican





   US President Donald Trump has met Pope Francis at the Vatican for a short private audience on the third leg of his overseas trip.
    He arrived for the meeting along with his wife Melania, daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
   The meeting was keenly awaited as the two men have already clashed at a distance on issues including migration and climate change.
   President Trump will later meet Italy's president and prime minister, and then fly to Brussels for a Nato summit.
   He earlier vowed to help Israelis and Palestinians achieve peace, as he ended the Middle East leg of his tour.
   The US leader began his foreign trip with a two-day stop in Saudi Arabia over the weekend, urging Muslim countries to take the lead in combating radicalisation.
