President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have landed in Rome to attend Pope Francis’ funeral in Vatican City. The funeral is scheduled for Saturday morning, following the pope’s death due to stroke and heart failure. Trump marks the second sitting president to attend a papal funeral, after George W. Bush who attended Pope John Paul II’s funeral in 2005. The late pope’s body lay in state at St. Peter’s Basilica, attracting tens of thousands of mourners. President Joe Biden did not attend Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s funeral earlier this year.
