Pope Leo took steps to mitigate the perception of a brewing feud with U.S. President Donald Trump, calling reports about his statements made during his Africa tour inaccurate.
While speaking to journalists on a flight to Angola, the pope clarified that remarks made in Cameroon criticizing global tyrants were not targeting Trump specifically.
Leo explained that the speech was prepared two weeks prior and was unrelated to Trump's critique of the pope's message of peace.
