President Donald Trump has met the eldest brother of Pope Leo XIV at the White House.

The meeting with Louis Prevost, 73, took place on Tuesday, 20 May. Earlier in the day, while speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, President Donald Trump said that he likes Pope Leo XIV, 69, and was looking forward to meeting the Pope’s brother later that day, reports the US-based Catholic News Agency (CNA).

“I like the pope and I like the pope’s brother,” Trump told reporters, while noting that the Pope’s elder brother “is a major MAGA fan" (alluding to the “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan).
