President Donald Trump reportedly launched a strong critique against Pope Leo, describing him as "weak" and "terrible." Reports indicate President Trump also characterized the Pope as too liberal and "weak on crime."
In response, Pope Leo stated he has "no fear" of the Trump administration following the President's remarks. This exchange comes as a feud between the U.S. and the Vatican has reportedly erupted over Iran, with ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz coming to a halt.
The Pope is pushing back against President Trump's criticism as the US-Vatican dispute over Iran escalates. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
