Pope Leo hasn’t been shy about expressing his views on the state of things in the United States. A religious leader in traditional attire stands outdoors, holding a hand on an ornate chair, participating in a public event

Right off the bat, in his first major interview after he was elected Pope, Leo said he was concerned about “some things going on in the States.” He added, “Sometimes decisions are made more based on economics than on human dignity and human support.” A person in papal attire speaks into a microphone while holding a paper, seated on a large chair during an event

And in October, he was more direct, saying, “Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. And someone who says I’m against abortion, but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.” A religious leader waves to a crowd from a vehicle, surrounded by people taking photos during an outdoor event

Earlier this week, the Pope met with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, and after their meeting, he had a pretty direct message for Trump. Two men are shaking hands warmly in a formal setting, one wearing a dark suit and the other in religious garments

Here’s what he said when asked about Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine, which critics say heavily favors Russia:

“I haven’t read the whole thing. I think, unfortunately, some parts of it that I have seen make a huge change in what was for many, many years a true alliance between Europe and the United States. The remarks that are made about Europe, also in interviews recently, I think are trying to break apart what I think needs to be a very important alliance today and in the future.” A man in a ceremonial robe with gold embroidery stands with clasped hands, appearing to be in a formal or religious event

“So it is a program that President Trump and his advisers put together. He is the president of the United States, and he has the right to do that. It has a number of things in it that I think that while perhaps many people in the United States would be in agreement, I think that many others would see things in a different way.” A man dressed in ornate religious attire clasps his hands together, looking upwards thoughtfully

In response to the criticism, the White House told Newsweek, “President Trump has great relationships with many European leaders, but he never shies away from delivering hard truths. The devastating impacts of unchecked migration, and those migrants’ inability to assimilate, are not just a concern for President Trump, but for Europeans themselves, who have increasingly noted immigration as one of their top concerns.” A person in a suit is speaking at a meeting, seated at a table.

“These open-border policies have led to widespread examples of violence, spikes in crime and more, with detrimental impacts on the fiscal sustainability of social safety net programs. As the president remarked at the United Nations General Assembly, his efforts to secure the border saved America from such destruction, and other countries would be wise to follow suit.” Three men sit at a conference table with microphones above.

Personally, I think we’re *days* away from a 500-word Pope Leo Truth Social rant unlike anything we’ve ever seen before… A person in a suit with an American flag pin is seated at a meeting, looking introspective
