Secretary of State Marco Rubio found himself diplomatically threading the needle between the White House and the Vatican.
Rubio, 54, appeared to shrug and give a mocking smile when asked whether he had urged President Donald Trump, 79, to stop criticizing the pope following his “cordial” meeting with the pontiff on Thursday.
“Why would I tell you what I’m gonna recommend to the president?” Rubio said during a press conference on Friday, adding that “the president of the United States is always going to act in what’s in the best interest of the United States.”
