At her White House press briefing, Karoline Leavitt was asked about the past critical tweets about President Trump and Vice President JD Vance by Pope Leo XIV.
00:00One other question. Yesterday we saw the news of the new Pope. Before Pope Leo became Pope Leo, there were some critical comments that he made about President Trump and about Vice President Vance on his X account, then X account. Does the White House have any reaction to those comments?
00:18The President made his reaction to Pope Leo's announcement yesterday very clear. He is very proud to have an American Pope. I think it was a surprise to everyone. I saw the news media was surprised to report on that yesterday. But it's a great thing for the United States of America and for the world, and we are praying for him.
