- The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally, has expressed solidarity with Pope Leo's calls for peace, amid an escalating war of words between the pontiff and Donald Trump.
- Pope Leo, during his four-nation Africa tour, warned that the world is being 'ravaged by a handful of tyrants' and reiterated his strong condemnation of war.
- Donald Trump earlier branded the Pope 'weak' and stated he was 'not a fan of Pope Leo', demanding he 'focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician'.
