President Donald Trump has warmly congratulated Pope Leo XIV (formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost) on his historic election as the first American-born pontiff. In a post on Truth Social, Trump described the moment as a “great honour” for the United States and expressed his eagerness to meet the new pope, calling it a “very meaningful moment”.
Despite this public enthusiasm, Pope Leo XIV has previously expressed criticism of Trump’s policies, particularly regarding immigration. In a past social media post, he highlighted concerns over the treatment of migrants, questioning the moral implications of certain actions taken by the Trump administration.
While their past interactions suggest differing viewpoints, the current tone from both leaders indicates a willingness to engage constructively. As Pope Leo XIV begins his papacy, his approach to global issues and potential dialogues with political figures like President Trump will be closely observed.
