Trump, who had a sometimes thorny relationship with Francis, said in a social media post Monday that he would travel to Rome with First Lady Melania Trump to attend the funeral.
Trump ordered US flags to be flown at half-staff at the White House, and at federal properties across the globe.
Trump had earlier posted on social media: “Rest in Peace Pope Francis! May God Bless him and all who loved him!”
“Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most consequential leaders of our time and I am better for having known him,“ Biden wrote on X alongside a picture of him and the pontiff.
There were also statements from top congressional leaders, with senior Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer citing the late pope’s “compassion and love for the less fortunate.”
The top Democrat in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, said the pope had “humbly” served the poor and recalled a 2015 address by Francis to a joint session of Congress as a “triumphant, bipartisan” event.
“He encouraged us to protect our planet, championed a more inclusive church, and cared for all of God’s children - especially the most vulnerable among us,“ she posted on X.
