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.
