A convoy carrying Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan entered the Vatican on Monday ahead of talks with Pope Francis that are expected to center on Jerusalem after U.S. President Donald Trump recognized the holy city as the capital of Israel. It will be the first visit to the Vatican by a Turkish president in 59 years. Erdoğan is also due to meet Italian President Sergio Mattarella and Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni on Monday, as well as local business leaders, later in the day.
