Donald Trump has criticised Pope Leo, calling him “very liberal” and saying he is “not a big fan” of his views.
Speaking to reporters while flying back to Washington from Florida on Sunday (12 April), Trump said: “We don’t like a pope that’s going to say it’s okay to have a nuclear weapon.”
He added that he does not support any position that appears to be “toying with a country that wants a nuclear weapon so they can blow up the world.”
His comments came after the pope suggested a “delusion of omnipotence” is fuelling the US-Israel war in Iran.
