Pope Leo XIV said he has no interest in debating U.S. President Donald Trump and dismissed what he called an inaccurate media narrative portraying the two as “at war,” comments that came as the Vatican and the White House have publicly clashed over the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran.
President Donald Trump made a lighthearted remark suggesting the US Navy might demand Cuba's surrender on its way back from a deployment to the Middle East amid tensions with Iran. He referenced the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier approaching Cuba's coast. The comment aligns with ongoing US efforts to push Cuba toward reforms.

President Donald Trump rebuked Pope Leo during a press exchange on Thursday, telling reporters to inform the pontiff about Iran's impending executions of civilian protesters. The remark escalates an ongoing public feud between the two leaders over U.S. policy toward Iran. Trump emphasized Iran's violent crackdown on protesters and its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld argued on "The Five" that President Donald Trump’s posture toward Iran reflects Trump’s own long-standing views rather than pressure from Israel, pointing to Trump remarks from the 1980s that advocated a hardline approach during the Iran hostage crisis and the Iran-Iraq war.
