Pope Leo XIV has stated he is not afraid of the Donald Trump administration, detailing his complex American heritage and criticising the current president's immigration policies during a television appearance. Speaking at an interview at a prayer event in Castel Gandolfo, the papal retreat near Rome, the pontiff addressed his family history and his global role.
For context, the 70-year-old Catholic leader has repeatedly clashed with the United States administration since being elected pontiff, having previously labelled its border strategies as 'inhumane'.
