Trump criticizes Pope Leo over foreign policy stance

U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a sharp attack on Pope Leo, calling him “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.” In a statement on Truth Social, Trump accused the Pope of being influenced by political ideology and criticized his comments on global conflicts, including the Iran war and U.S. security policy.

Trump also defended his administration’s actions, saying they have strengthened national security and reduced crime. He further claimed the Vatican’s position reflects “political bias” and urged the Pope to focus on spiritual leadership instead of political commentary.
