President Biden on Friday had a lengthy and warm meeting with Pope Francis, which included jokes, laughter, and a gift exchange. “The engagement between the two was very warm when the delegation arrived in the room. There was laughter and clear rapport between President Biden and Pope Francis,” a White House official said. During the 90-minute meeting, Biden gave the pope a presidential challenge coin and called him the “most significant warrior for peace I've ever met,” NBC reported citing Vatican TV.
