Pope Leo XIV said Saturday he regretted remarks he made were interpreted as a response to criticism from President Donald Trump, insisting he had no interest in debating the US leader.
An example was a speech about “tyrants” ransacking the world that he delivered in Cameroon on the second leg of a tour of Africa, Leo told journalists as he travelled to Angola.
The remarks had been written well before Trump’s comment that he was “not a big fan” of the American pope. “And yet it was perceived as if I were trying to start a new debate with the president, which doesn’t interest me at all,” Leo said.
