Trump to meet with Zelenskyy; foreign aid freeze heads to the Supreme Court
Vice President JD Vance will speak at the 20th annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast this morning at the Washington Convention Center.
It will be Vance’s second consecutive appearance at the event.
“I am honored to be able to address the 20th annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast and represent the New Administration, and our support for people of faith across the United States,” Vance said in a statement. “Last year, I was moved to witness the joyful devotion of over a thousand Catholics praying for the future and success of our country. Thanks to their faithful prayers, hope has returned to America again.”
Vance will speak as Pope Francis, 88, continues to be treated for double pneumonia at Rome’s Gemelli hospital.
The Vatican said yesterday that the pope’s condition is improving, though “further days of clinical stability are needed to dissolve the prognosis.”
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has sued the Trump administration for halting federal funds allocated to it for refugee resettlement programs.
