Donald Trump has falsely claimed Pope Leo wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon and absurdly insisted he is not fighting with the pontiff, despite days of escalating attacks.

Speaking at the White House before heading to Las Vegas, the president downplayed his feud with the Vatican amid a growing backlash among Catholics—one of the crucial voting blocks that helped him get elected.
