US President Donald Trump has entered a sharp conflict with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Pope Leo XIV, creating new rifts within the Western alliance. The dispute began with Trump's attacks on the Pope, who advocates for peace and criticizes the US war against Iran. SITA ↗ sme.sk ↗
Trump continues to criticize the Pope on his social network Truth Social and has created AI images depicting him as Jesus Christ. Vice President JD Vance stated that the Pope should be careful when speaking about theology. In Slovakia, the Pope was defended by President Peter Pellegrini and bishops, who described his calls for peace as one of the strongest moral voices. postoj.sk ↗ SITA ↗
Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV continues his 11-day apostolic journey through Africa. In Cameroon, he sharply criticized world leaders for spending billions on armaments instead of helping people in need. During his visit to the conflict-stricken region, he called for the eradication of corruption and emphasized that the world is ruled by only a handful of tyrants. The Pope also visited orphanages and homes for the elderly, where he spoke about human dignity and community. Separatist groups in the Anglophone part of Cameroon announced a unilateral halt to fighting during his visit. The dispute triggered a strong reaction from Meloni, who defended the Pope and rejected Trump's statements, while Time magazine named the Pope the most influential figure of 2026 in the Leaders category. teraz.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
