🟡 NeutralThe Independent2026-05-06
Pope dismissed Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claim that he is ‘endangering Catholics’ by supporting Iran’s nuclear program. Trump alleged the Pope believes ‘it’s fine for Iran to have a nuclear weapon’ without providing evidence. This dispute precedes a meeting between the Pope and Secretary of State Rubio, expected to involve a ‘frank conversation’ about the Trump administration’s policies.
