\u201cWe discussed a lot one-on-one. Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out. Very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results,\u201d the Ukrainian president wrote, thanking and tagging Trump.<\/p>\n
The president and Pope Francis have clashed several times since Trump\u2019s first bid for the White House nearly a decade ago.<\/p>\n
In 2016, the pope criticized<\/a> Trump\u2019s proposal to build a wall on the US-Mexico border, telling reporters at the time that, \u201ca person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.\u201d Trump quickly fired back, saying, \u201cFor a religious leader to question a person\u2019s faith is disgraceful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS\u2019s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n Then, when the pair met during a 2017 trip to the Vatican, the president claimed they had a \u201cfantastic meeting.\u201d This interaction gave rise to the viral photo<\/a> of Trump and Francis standing next to each other with very different expressions.<\/p>\n
