Pope Leo downplays Trump feud

The tension between the Vatican and the White House escalated after the Pope criticized the ongoing war in Iran, prompting a series of social media attacks from Trump.

Vice President JD Vance expressed gratitude for the Pope's clarifying remarks, hoping to ease tensions with the Catholic Church.

Trump supporters in key states have urged the Pope to stay in his lane and avoid commenting on military strategy.

Despite the friction, the Pope remains focused on his mission of peacebuilding and interfaith dialogue across the African continent.
