Flags to be flown: U.S. President Donald Trump has directed that flags be flown at half-staff in honor of Pope Francis, who passed away on Monday, as a “mark of respect for the memory” of the late pontiff.
The directive, detailed in an official proclamation, mandates that flags be lowered at “all public buildings and grounds, all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia, across the United States, and in its Territories and possessions” until sunset on the day of Pope Francis’ interment.
Trump also extended the order to U.S. embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including military installations and naval stations.
On Monday morning, during the annual Easter Egg Roll on the White House South Lawn, the American flag atop the White House was seen flying at half-staff.
