Trump orders US flags lowered to half-staff for Pope Francis

U.S. President Donald Trump issued a proclamation Monday ordering U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff to honor Pope Francis after the Argentine pontiff's death aged 88.

Trump ordered that the flag be lowered at the White House and public and military properties, as well as on naval vessels and foreign diplomatic missions, "as a mark of respect for the memory of His Holiness Pope Francis."
