Pope Leo downplays Trump feud

Aboard the papal flight to Angola, Pope Leo XIV addressed the growing tension between the Vatican and the Trump administration over the conflict in Iran.

The pontiff expressed regret that his messages of peace were being interpreted as personal attacks on the American president.

While maintaining his stance against global violence and the exploitation of natural resources, Leo emphasized that his speeches are written well in advance of current events.

Despite the Pope's attempt to lower the temperature, supporters on both sides remain polarized by the unprecedented public exchange.
