It’s hard to predict the future, but I do think that not just the pope, but the entire Vatican, has expressed a desire to be really helpful and to work together on facilitating, hopefully, a peace deal coming together in Russia and Ukraine.

If there is a single most productive thing [from the trip], my hope is that it will be that the relationship between us and the Vatican leads to a lot fewer people getting killed and a lot less humanitarian disaster.

we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job.

The first is that she’s a very, very good listener. So if you have two people who really disagree on something, she tries to understand where both of them are coming from.

You can probably imagine that people in the United States are extremely excited about you.

You love your family, and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens in your own country.

We talked a lot about what’s going on in Israel and Gaza. We talked a lot about the Russia-Ukraine situation.

I hope it’s the beginning of a very good relationship, because I think he does care a lot about peace.

We can pray for good health but also recognize that if you’re not in good enough health to do the job, you shouldn’t be doing the job.

That's not politics. That's not because I disagreed with him on policy. That's because I don't think that he was in good enough health.

I blame him less than I blame the people around him. Why didn't the American people have a better sense of his health picture?
