It is still up in the air who will attend the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome this Saturday, given that an election is on. Keith Pitt, who is Australia’s ambassador to the Holy See will be there, but in terms of others from Australia, that is an on-going conversation.

But one person who will be attending is US President Donald Trump who posted to his social media platform Truth Social:

Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome.

We look forward to being there!”
