American President Donald Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV in a Truth post. "He is weak on the crime front and very bad at foreign policy. He talks about fear of the Trump administration, but does not mention the fear that the Catholic Church and all other Christian organizations experienced during Covid, when priests, ministers, and anyone else were arrested for celebrating religious services," wrote the American president. "I much prefer his brother Louis because he is completely MAGA. He has understood everything. I do not want a Pope who considers it acceptable for Iran to have nuclear weapons." "Leo should be grateful to me because, as everyone knows, his appointment was a shocking surprise. He was not on any list of possible candidates and was chosen by the Church only because he is American; in fact, it was thought that this was the best way to manage the relationship with President Donald J. Trump." "If I were not in the White House, Leo would not be in the Vatican." After failed negotiations, at 10 a.m. Monday, Eastern Time, the United States will begin a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. American President Donald Trump also stated: "I don't care" whether Iran returns to negotiations or not, adding that the peace talks in Pakistan failed because Tehran did not agree to "give up its nuclear ambitions." Iran has warned that any military vessel approaching the sea route will be "dealt with harshly," while the country's parliament speaker said Tehran will not "surrender under threats." Iran's foreign minister stated that both sides were "very close" to an agreement in Pakistan, but then Tehran faced "maximalism" and "constant changing of conditions."
