Trump feuds with Pope Leo
Tensions between the White House and the Vatican have reached a new peak during Pope Leo XIV's current tour of Africa.
The Pope issued a forceful rebuke of world leaders who spend billions on conflict while ignoring the needs of the poor, specifically targeting those who 'manipulate the name of God.' President Trump responded by claiming the Pope is naive about the global threat posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions.
The feud has caused significant unease among Catholic voters in the United States, a key demographic for the upcoming midterm elections.
