Pope Leo XIV avoids Trump debate

The war of words between the Vatican and the White House continues as Pope Leo XIV travels through Africa.

Aboard the papal plane, the Pope sought to downplay the perceived feud, suggesting that media reporting has misconstrued his sermons on the human cost of war.

President Trump had previously attacked the Pope on social media, calling him 'weak' for criticizing military operations in Iran.

Despite the friction, the Pope maintains that his focus remains on spiritual leadership and preaching the Gospel in developing nations.
