JD Vance will lead an American delegation to the inaugural Mass of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, though he has previously criticized the Trump administration. Ukrainian President Zelenski plans to attend, war commitments permitting, and French President Macron has discussed peace in Ukraine and Gaza with the new pope. Cardinal Robert Prevost, the pope-elect, has had posts critical of Republican policies, sparking backlash from Trump supporters. The Mass will take place in St. Peter's Square, with many world leaders expected to attend.
