Trump to pope: 'I won't forget what you said'
President Donald Trump appeared moved by his private meeting with Pope Francis, telling the pope that he "won't forget what you said."
The president and pope have a contentious history and disagree on a host of issues, including environmental protection.
The White House did not immediately provide details about what was discussed during their 30-minute private conversation. But the two men appeared on good terms Wednesday, including during a traditional gift exchange.
The pope's gifts to Trump included a medal by a Roman artist depicting an olive, which is a symbol of peace.
The president responded, "We can use peace."
The pope also gave the president a signed message of peace along with copies of his three main teaching documents.
The president told the pope he'd be reading them.
