Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pope Leo XIV exchanged gifts during a visit at the Vatican on Thursday. Rubio presented a small crystal football and joked that he knew the pope was a baseball guy. Among other gifts, Pope Leo gave Rubio a small pen made of olive wood, a plant the pontiff highlighted as the "plant of peace."
