John Prevost addressed rumors about Pope Leo canceling a trip to the United States during an interview. He clarified that the Pope was not planning a visit to the U.S. this year, suggesting that misinformation might have contributed to the controversy.

Trump's Public Criticism

Earlier in April, President Trump criticized Pope Leo on Truth Social, expressing disapproval of his stance on various international issues, including Iran and Venezuela. Trump's comments initiated widespread media attention.
