Pope Leo XIV has a misunderstanding of law and order, Donald Trump said, adding that he will not apologize for his words. "He's very much against what I'm doing with Iran, and we can't allow a nuclear Iran. Pope Leo would be unhappy with the end result. Hundreds of millions of people would be dead," the US president said. For her part, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called Trump's comments about the Pope unacceptable. She said it was normal and fair for Pope Leo XIV to call for peace and condemn all forms of war. Earlier, Trump said he does not want to deal with the pope, who considers Iran's nuclear weapons acceptable and condemns the US operation in Venezuela.

Media reaction to Trump's attack on the Pope; unprecedented and with social consequences Western media reported that US President Donald Trump launched a direct and harsh attack on Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope in history, on Sunday evening by publishing a message on the Truth Social social network and then in verbal statements to reporters. International media described Trump's action as unprecedented and outside of political convention, and considered it a direct attack on the spiritual leader of more than 1.4 billion Catholics in the world. The British news agency Reuters described the remarks in a report as "an unusual and direct attack on the church leader" and wrote that Trump's words provoked an immediate reaction from Catholic circles. The London-based Guardian newspaper also called the move an "extraordinary attack" on the Pope, emphasizing that Trump had portrayed him as "weak" and "very bad" at foreign policy. The American newspaper Washington Post reported that Trump even claimed to have played a role in the election of Pope Leo and accused him of political ingratitude. @iribnews
