President Trump and Pope Leo XIV Feud Over Iran War and US Policy

President Donald Trump publicly criticized Pope Leo XIV on social media, calling him "weak on crime" and "terrible for foreign policy," particularly regarding the war in Iran. In response, the Pope stated that he is "not afraid" of the Trump administration and that his calls for peace are rooted in the Gospel, not politics. The escalating war of words has caused dismay among some U.S. Catholics and prompted calls for an apology from Trump.
