. >> julie: amy kellogg is live outside the vatican. the anticipation from where you stand must be pretty incredible. what was it like, seeing the president of the united states pull up and enter the vatican? >> it was an extraordinary motorcade, i've never seen such a long motorcade. the president and the first family and his entourage. apparently the pope came up in a ford focus, that is also very symbolic and telling, the differences between the two. just from a purely observational point of view, it seems that the most smiles were reserved for melania trump. watching the body language of the holy father and the first family and president trump's entourage. i think -- it sounds like the general audience is just beginning behind us. that is the reason why this meeting was so early in the morning, pope francis takes his general audience incredibly seriously on wednesday morning at 10:00. it would appear that is starting right now. with the meeting lasted the one on one between president trump and pope francis lasted about 3. the shots

martin coverage now, amy kellogg live in rome, vatican behind he her. hi, amy. >> no doubt the attack in manchester will be one of the issues that the pope and president discuss tomorrow, but you know, there has been a lot of curiosity about how this meeting will ultimately go because the pope and president are at -- different on so many issues. they come from different perspectives. for example, recently when president trump was extolling the power in position of those u.s. air strikes in syria, the pope made his distressed distrn that this was called the mother of all bombs, actually that was afghanistan by basically saying that a mother brings life and bombs bring death. the pope is very much generally against weapon proliferation altogether, and the arms trade, and president trump is coming here after a major, major signing of a deal with the saudis for weapons. climate change, globalization, capitalism, they come at these topics from very different places. the pontiff has lashed out against those who build walls, not bridges, calling them unchristi

amy kellogg live in vatican city with what we have learned so far when the audience concluded half anr ago. >> good morning. you are interested in the issue of the women and protocol on this trip and i have to say the devout in italy were scrutinizing, the first lady and first daughter would wear that veil called the mantilla. it is not mandated but it is protocol in the vatican and all women who meet the holy father are supposed to wear that unless they are catholic -- the first lady and first daughter in black with that modesty veil, spot on in terms of protocol this morning by donald trump on the other hand was scoffed at by some italian journalists and observers for not buttoning his jacket as he made his way through the very long apostolic hallways. that was something that was pointed the out as he was accompanied by the swiss guard and this aristocratic honor guard, the gentleman of the holy father. melania i must point out, the an icebreaker on this visit, at the expanded audience after the one on one the holy father asked her what she said her husband, peter? and she giggled a

amy kellogg, how did the trip go on the ground? >> reporter: according to donald trump it was a home run, not only that but one of his senior advisers saying this reaffirmed america's global leadership abroad. they talked about all the deals, have $1 trillion in deals signed in saudi arabia, then more firm and unified stance against terrorism, trump advises that the meetings went well, they were warm and cordial. some in europe talking about the g-7 being g6 plus one with the one being donald trump, many of his ideas diverge from the europeans but france's newly elected centrist president emmauel macron said he praised trump's capacity to listen and progress. trump speaking to and thinking troops at the naval air station says his tough talk earlier in the week on nato members is paying off so none of us are privy to the particular details of that particular homerun. >> money is actually starting to pour into nato from countries that would not have been doing what they are doing now had i not been elected i can tell you that. money

amy kellogg is live in italy with more on this. amy, what was accomplished on this trip? >> reporter: well, gregg, lots of sweeping declarations on the part of president trump in terms of defeating terror, but scant information or scant detail was really shared with us about how that might be accomplished short of some promises -- particularly those that he managed to secure in saudi arabia for all efforts being made to restrict and cut off the funding to terror groups. now, of course, that horrific attack in manchester happened just days before the g7 summit near sicily began, and so a declaration of solidarity and unity in the face of fighting and dealing with terrorism was signed. other than that, trump and his interlocutors from the world's seven wealthiest industrialized countries haggled over definitions of fair trade and discussed how to stimulate growth. trump called the meetings all tremendously successful. >> i attended the g7 right here in sicily and made great progress toward very, very vital goals. i laid out my vision for economic growth and fair trade, and

heather: amy kellogg live in rome. >> reporter: parting words to pope francis were i will not forgethat you said. it was a morning of pomp and ceremony in the vatican, first a procession through the apostolic palace and we saw president and mrs. trump led by the swiss guard and the honor guard of aristocrats, the gentleman of his holiness and the cardinal who tabloids called gorgeous george because of the dashing figure they say he cuts. a personal secretary to the pope. the meeting the 1-on-1 didn't appear particularly cordial at the beginning. the photo up the pope wasn't smiling, trump said it is an honor to meet you. we understand the pope didn't respond to that but when we saw the extended audience at the end, the trump family and some of his staff, there seemed to be a lot more warmth, gifts were exchanged, books by martin luther king from trump to the pope and the pope gave trump a sculpture of an olive tree saying i hope you use this for peace and trump said we could certainly use it. rob: thanks so much. britain talking about another possible terror attack, raising threat le
