Trump attacks Pope over war

A public war of words has broken out between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV, marking a rare open confrontation between the White House and the Vatican.

Trump criticized the pontiff's anti-war stance on Truth Social, suggesting the Pope was catering to the 'Radical Left' and failing to support U.S. interests.

In response, Pope Leo XIV stated he has 'no fear' of the Trump administration and will continue to speak out against the suffering caused by the Iran war.

The dispute is reportedly impacting Trump's standing with Catholic voters in the United States.
