Pope Leo XIV downplays Trump feud

The ongoing friction between the Vatican and the White House reached a new phase as Pope Leo XIV addressed reporters while flying from Cameroon to Angola.

The first American pope insisted that his mission is focused on preaching peace and addressing environmental disasters rather than engaging in political spats.

Trump had previously attacked the pope on social media, calling him 'weak' and accusing him of hurting the Catholic Church.

Despite the pontiff's attempts to downplay the conflict, Vice President JD Vance and other administration officials continue to monitor the situation as it impacts the religious voting bloc.
