From Politico:
President Joe Biden has decided not to embark on a final overseas trip in office, canceling plans to travel to Rome for a personal meeting with Pope Francis this weekend as wildfires continue to rage across Los Angeles.
The White House announced that the trip was off on Wednesday night shortly after the president returned from Los Angeles, where high winds and the resulting fires altered a final California swing during which he’d planned to dedicate two new national monuments in the desert. The fires have killed at least five people in Los Angeles County.
