Pope Leo Declares No Desire To Engage In Debate With Trump

Pope Leo XIV on Monday said he had “no intention to debate” with Donald Trump, after the US president criticised him over his comments on the US-Iran war.

“I am not a politician,” the pope told reporters aboard the papal plane as they headed to Algeria for the pontiff’s first visit to Africa.

“I have no intention to debate with (Trump). The message is the same: to promote peace.”

In his view, true strength lies in promoting peace, and he hopes that his words will inspire others to seek unity and reconciliation for the betterment of all humanity.
