U.S. President Donald Trump received a global outcry following his April 12 Truth Social attack on Pope Leo XIV, in which he called the Pope “weak” and complained that the latter “criticizes the President of the United States.” Responses poured in from around the world, some of which are included below:
Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni: “I find President Trump’s words towards the Holy Father unacceptable. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church, and it is right and normal for him to call for peace and to condemn every form of war.”
