Trump Attacks Pope Leo XIV as 'Weak on Crime'
Trump said he will not apologize after calling Pope Leo XIV weak on crime and defending his Iran policy.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV on Truth Social, branding the pontiff "weak on crime" and "terrible for foreign policy" over his criticism of U.S. wartime rhetoric.
- Amid high-stakes U.S.-Iran negotiations, Leo previously condemned Trump's threat to destroy "the whole Iranian civilization" as "truly unacceptable," fueling the growing rift between the White House and the Vatican.
- Shortly after his post, Trump shared an AI-generated image portraying himself as a messianic figure, while telling reporters he is "not a big fan" of the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics.

- The pontiff departs Monday for an 11-day tour of four African countries, where nearly 20 per cent of the world's Catholics reside, maintaining focus on global diplomacy despite domestic tensions.
