US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to visit Rome this week in an effort to ease tensions with both the Italian government and the Vatican. According to reports, Rubio will be in the Italian capital on Thursday and Friday, where he is expected to meet Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. Rubio has also requested a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, though that request has not yet been approved.
Relations between Washington, Rome, and the Vatican have deteriorated since US President Donald Trump launched an unprecedented verbal attack on Pope Leo following the Pope’s condemnation of US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Meloni criticized Trump’s remarks, prompting further criticism from Trump, who also threatened to withdraw US troops from Italy for not supporting the Iran offensive.
Reports indicate that Rubio’s visit aims to “warm up” the strained diplomatic ties. The Pentagon has already announced the withdrawal of 5,000 troops from Germany, and Trump has hinted at similar moves in Italy and Spain.
