Vice President JD Vance arrived in Rome on Good Friday with second lady Usha Vance and their three children on the first leg of a six-day foreign trip that includes discussions with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and a visit to the Vatican.
Vance, who is Catholic, will attend the Good Friday service on April 18 at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican complex and stay on for Easter in Rome.
