In what’s shaping up to be a historic and emotionally charged farewell to Pope Francis, world leaders are gathering in Vatican City — and the spotlight is on former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
According to the reported seating chart for the funeral, the two political rivals are expected to be seated close together in the third row, potentially leading to an awkward public moment in front of a global audience.
While the Vatican has yet to release official details, past papal funerals, like that of Pope John Paul II, give insight into the protocol and seating hierarchy.
With over 130 country delegations and several monarchs in attendance, this funeral will not only be a spiritual event but also a powerful display of global diplomacy — and underlying political tension.

U.S President Donald Trump has made headlines once again, this time offering asylum to white South African refugees fleeing what he calls “genocide.” But the move has sparked outrage and raised questions about hypocrisy as Trump continues his tough stance on immigration, particularly toward Black and Hispanic migrants. As the media focuses on the controversial land expropriation in South Africa, many are now calling out the double standard in U.S. immigration policy.

Tensions between California and Washington D.C. reignite as Governor Gavin Newsom challenges former ICE Chief Tom Homan to arrest him on live TV. Trump escalates the feud, calling Newsom “grossly incompetent” and suggesting he should be arrested. The confrontation follows federal immigration raids in Los Angeles and strong opposition from California leaders, including L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. As Trump mocks their resistance and accuses them of ignoring violence, the battle over state vs federal control of immigration reaches a boiling point.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed in a TV interview that the Trump administration diverted 20,000 anti-drone missiles, originally approved under Biden, away from Ukraine to the Middle East. Zelensky said Ukraine relied on these precision-guided weapons to counter Shaheed drone strikes, including a record 472 drones on June 1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cited urgency but skipped a major Ukraine meeting. Trump later resumed aid after Kyiv agreed to a ceasefire, sparking backlash over his stance to “let the war continue.”

The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure.

Joe Biden has broken his silence following Donald Trump's renewed criticism over his use of an autopen to sign executive orders. During a recent Oval Office ceremony, Trump mocked Biden, questioning the legality of using the signature machine. Now, House Republicans are planning a formal investigation. In a sharp rebuttal, Biden dismissed the allegations, stating, “I made the decisions about pardons, executive orders, legislation. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.” The controversy revives questions about presidential protocol and Trump’s persistent attacks on his predecessor.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and “constructive” phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism. He also updated the Pontiff on resumed peace talks with Kiev, the exchange of prisoners, and efforts to reunite displaced children. Putin urged the Pope to support religious freedom in Ukraine and thanked the Holy See for its role in mediating humanitarian issues.

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for “active review” of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.
