“There’s nothing to apologize for. He’s wrong,” Trump told reporters, a day after a social media post and comments slamming the US-born pope.
“Pope Leo said things that are wrong. He was very much against what I’m doing with regard to Iran, and you cannot have a nuclear Iran,” said Trump, adding that Leo was “very weak on crime and other things.”- AFP
