Rubio visits Rome amid protests to repair ties with Vatican and Italy

Demonstrators in central Rome protested against a visit by US Secretary of State Rubio, saying he was not welcome and denouncing US involvement in Gaza, Venezuela and Cuba, including the Cuban blockade.
Rubio met Vatican and Italian leaders to repair relations after President Donald Trump criticised Pope Leo and Giorgia Maloney over Iran and threatened to pull US troops from Italy.
