Pope Leo XIV says he has no interest in debating Trump during Africa trip
Pope Leo XIV told reporters aboard his papal plane that it was 'not in my interest at all' to debate President Trump, addressing their recent back-and-forth over the pope's peace messages. The pope said his earlier remarks criticizing 'tyrants' who ravage Earth with war were prepared two weeks before Trump's criticisms began. Leo emphasized he would continue preaching the Gospel message of peace during his Africa tour.
