Jo McKenna: Italy Correspondent on the latest conflict between Donald Trump and the Pope
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Fresh conflict between US President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV.
Trump launched another attack on the Pope, suggesting he believes it’s okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and claiming his stance is endangering people.
The Pope made no such claims and responded to the attack by saying the mission of the church is to preach the Gospel and to preach peace, and people were free to criticise him for it.
Italy Correspondent Jo McKenna told Mike Hosking Pope Leo said he's never supported nuclear weapons, and those criticising should do it with the truth.
