Trump visits Pope before Nato meeting

It was probably not exactly a meeting of minds. The leader of the western world – a climate change agnostic and a builder of walls – and the leader of the world’s Roman Catholics – an environmentalist and a man who welcomes migrants. And, while President Trump said they’d had “a fantastic meeting”, the Pope’s spokesman said more cautiously that they’d had “an exchange of views”. And as the Trump tour continues, arriving in Brussels this afternoon for tomorrow’s Nato meeting, at home trouble is brewing over his campaign’s connections with Russia.
