The vice president is to meet later with Italian and EU prime ministers.
Vice President JD Vance met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Rome on Sunday before a later meeting with the Italian and European Union prime ministers.
President Donald Trump announced he will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday before speaking with Zelenskyy on the war in Ukraine next week. Representatives from Ukraine and Russia held discussions on Friday.
The conversation follows Trump's first foreign trip of his second administration, visiting Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates throughout the week.
Vice President JD Vance's office announced that he will lead a U.S. delegation, which includes Usha Vance, Marco Rubio and his wife, that will attend Pope Leo XIV's inaugural mass this Sunday.
Pope Leo XIV is the first American Pope.
President Trump delivered a campaign-style speech at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, speaking to service members at one of the largest American bases in the Middle East -- and during the speech hinted that he would "have to think about" an additional term.
After claiming he won three elections, Trump said "some people" wanted him to run again.
"I don't know, I'll have to think about that. I saw the new hat. What does that is say? It says Trump 2028 we're driving the left crazy with that hat," Trump said.
Trump has often mused, even joked, about seeking a third term, but legal and election experts have said that any attempt for him to win another four years as president would be an unprecedented breach of the Constitution. The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution says, in part: "No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice."

In a brief gaggle with reporters on Air Force One, President Trump said that "nothing's going to happen" in the Ukraine-Russia negotiations until he and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet.
It comes amid news that Putin will not attend a meeting in Turkey between Ukrainian and Russian representatives about its ongoing war.
Trump was asked by a reporter about whether he was disappointed by the turnout of the Russia delegation. Trump said he was not disappointed, saying that he knows "nothing about a delegation" adding that he hadn't "even checked." But then he did say that no deal would come together until he and Putin meet.
"Look, nothing's going to happen until Putin and I get together. OK?" Trump said. "And obviously he wasn't going to go. He was going to go, but he thought I was going to go. He wasn't going if I wasn't there. And I don't believe anything's going to happen, whether you like it or not, until he and I get together, but we're going to have to get it solved, because too many people are dying," Trump said.

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen was among a small group of protesters who were forcibly removed on Wednesday afternoon from the Senate hearing with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“You're killing poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by cutting Medicaid for kids here,” Cohen can be seen shouting, popping up directly behind where Kennedy was testifying.
RFK appeared startled by the interruption, turning quickly around when shouting started.
Cohen, a progressive activist who has been outspoken in his opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza since the country’s war with Hamas began, has been reposting videos on X of his removal from the hearing this afternoon.
Cohen can also be seen on camera being escorted outside the hearing room by Capitol Police.
