Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has released a brief statement expressing his condolences following the death of Pope Francis. The statement, posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, reads: “Rest in peace Pope Francis! May God bless him and all who loved him!”
Pope Francis and Donald Trump had a tense and ideologically divided relationship, particularly over immigration and social policy. The relationship remained formally diplomatic, but was often marked by visible unease and diverging visions of moral responsibility.
