Pope Leo XIV has undercut Donald Trump’s victory lap after his Iran deal, warning that world leaders are too often “feeding” wars instead of addressing humanitarian crises.
The president spent the last week talking up the pope’s support as he sought to sell his Iran deal, which he announced at the G7 summit in France after months of stalled negotiations.
After announcing the agreement, Trump quickly seized on supportive remarks from Pope Leo, sharing the pontiff’s praise for efforts to halt the fighting and prevent further bloodshed in the Middle East.
