Pope Francis meets Biden, Lula before leaving G7 summit

Pope Francis met with U.S. President Joe Biden and Brazil's President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva on Friday (June 14) before departing the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Italy, Reuters reports.

Biden told the Pope that he had made an "impression" on his family when the pontiff spoke to him after the president's son, Beau, died of brain cancer in 2015.

Lula embraced Pope Francis at the start of their meeting.

Pope Francis arrived in Borgo Egnazia, in the southern Italian region of Puglia, for the historic first participation of a pontiff in a G7 leaders' summit.

As the sun set, the Pope left the summit in a helicopter.
