President Donald Trump was briefed on Saturday regarding the health of Pope Francis, who is currently hospitalized in critical condition. The White House press secretary confirmed that Trump has been updated on the situation and that prayers are being offered for the Pope's well-being.
Pope Francis has been in the hospital for over a week and is still in critical condition after experiencing an asthmatic respiratory crisis. The Vatican released a statement providing an update on the Pope's health status.
President Trump had previously met with Pope Francis during his first term in 2017. The Pope had recently sent a message of prayer to the president upon his second inauguration. However, there was also criticism from the Pope towards the president's mass deportation policy in a letter addressed to American bishops.
As the world awaits further updates on Pope Francis' health, thoughts and prayers are being extended from various quarters, including the White House. The global community continues to monitor the situation closely and hopes for a positive outcome for the Pope's health.
