US President Donald Trump refused to apologize Monday for criticizing Pope Leo XIV, after the pontiff called for an end to violence in the Iran war.
“There’s nothing to apologize for. He’s wrong,” Trump told reporters, a day after a social media post and comments slamming the US-born pope.
“Pope Leo said things that are wrong. He was very much against what I’m doing with regard to Iran, and you cannot have a nuclear Iran,” said Trump, adding that Leo was “very weak on crime and other things.”
