ROME: Pope Leo XIV hit back at US President Donald Trump today, saying the Vatican’s appeals for peace and reconciliation are rooted in the Gospel, and that he did not fear the White House.

Mr Trump had said that the Chicago-born pontiff was not “doing a good job” and should “stop catering to the radical left,” after Pope Leo called for an end to war.

Leo responded as he arrived for an 11-day visit to Algeria to promote Christian-Muslim coexistence, a first such trip for a Pope.
