What new Pope said about Trump’s policies
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that Pope Leo XIV’s comment about President Trump’s policies had resurfaced after his election as the new pontiff of the Catholic Church.
Posts from Prevost’s X account, dating back months and years, conveyed his opposition to the Republican leader’s decisions.
He notably criticised Trump’s immigration policy and questioned the morality of using a Salvadoran prison for suspected gang members deported from the U.S: “Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?”
