Francis and Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, United
States President Donald Trump stressed how the US, the Holy See
and the international community can work together to fight
terrorism, the White House said Wednesday.

funding for over 300 million euros, in particular for the crises
in Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Nigeria, the White House said.
Trump told Francis and Cardinal Parolin Wednesday that "the
US and the Holy See share many fundamental values and seek to
work globally to promote human rights, combat human suffering
and protect religious freedom," the White House said.
