Pope Francis had an awkward meeting with US Vice President JD Vance at the Vatican on Easter Sunday, just before his death on Easter Monday. The meeting was brief and lasted only a few minutes, during which they discussed Francis' criticism of the Trump administration's treatment of migrants. Despite their differences, Francis offered Vance three chocolate Easter eggs for his children, as well as a Vatican tie and rosaries.

JD Vance met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Easter Sunday after a brief meeting the previous day, where he was snubbed by the Pontiff and instead met with other officials. The meeting lasted only a few minutes and did not resolve their differences over migration policies. Despite their disagreements, the Pope offered Vance three chocolate Easter eggs for his children, a Vatican tie, and rosaries.

Vice President JD Vance responded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s claim that the US government has sided with Russia in its war against Ukraine, calling it "absurd". Vance stated that it's not productive for Zelensky to make such claims, given that the US is currently supporting Ukraine.

Vice President JD Vance defended President Trump’s deportation strategy by criticizing "bulls*** arguments" from those demanding due process for illegal immigrants. He argued that providing due process would slow down Trump's efforts to fix the problem and noted that former President Joe Biden allowed approximately 20 million illegal aliens into the country during his four years as president. Vance claimed that Democrats have no solution to the problem of massive illegal immigration, citing the need for drastic action to deport at least a few million people per year. He acknowledged that the system would produce errors, but chose to prioritize enforcing the law despite these mistakes.
