Pope Leo XIV today (13 April) said he had \"no intention to debate\" with Donald Trump, after the US president criticised him over his comments on the US-Iran war.
"I am not a politician," the pope told reporters aboard the papal plane as they headed to Algeria for the pontiff`s first visit to Africa.
"I have no intention to debate with (Trump). The message is the same: to promote peace."
