Donald Trump and Melania arrived in Rome to attend Pope Francis’ historic funeral, joining dozens of world leaders in Vatican City. As final tributes poured in, questions over seating arrangements stirred quiet tensions, especially for Trump—who previously criticized his predecessor’s distant placement at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. With Argentina and Italy taking protocol precedence, other guests, including royalty and heads of state, are seated alphabetically. While Trump faces a "third-tier" position, Vatican experts assure the event will be a masterclass in managing egos and international dignitaries with delicate diplomacy.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited China ahead of high-stakes nuclear talks with the U.S. set for Oman. Saturday’s meeting in Muscat will include technical negotiations, with Araghchi calling China a “crucial partner.” China was a key signatory to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that President Trump later exited. As Iran raises uranium enrichment to near weapons-grade levels, both sides brace for tough decisions. Trump has confirmed “very good meetings,” but tensions remain high with sanctions and IAEA access disputes clouding the path forward.
