U.S. President Donald Trump and Pope Francis met for the first time at the Vatican on Wednesday.
Trump appeared upbeat and smiling for the cameras throughout most of the 30-minute get-together that was also attended by his wife, first lady Melania Trump, as well his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
The Pope, on the other hand, appeared much less enthused.
According to of the event, the mood in the room appeared 鈥渟tiff鈥� and the Pope was 鈥渞ather stone-faced,鈥� but 鈥渓ightened considerably鈥� during a gift exchange between the two men.
On social media, however, attention focused on an Associated Press photo that shows a beaming Trump posing for a group photo with an unsmiling Pope Francis and a sombre-looking Melania, Ivanka and Kushner.
