In posts on the social network Truth Social, he also wrote that the Pope is “weak on crime” and “terrible in foreign policy.”
Trump claims he does not want a Vatican leader who considers Iran’s possession of nuclear weapons acceptable or who criticizes U.S. actions.
At the same time, the article notes that Pope Leo XIV previously called for a reduction in violence and negotiations regarding the conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, emphasizing the need for a diplomatic resolution to the crisis.
