JD Vance was granted an audience with Pope Francis but it lasted just a few minutes, amid sharp tensions between the Holy See and the Trump administration over migrants and welfare budget cuts.
The US vice-president, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, has been in Rome with his family since Friday and was said to be keen to have a meeting with the Pope.
