President Donald Trump has said he will not apologise to Pope Leo for his recent comments, saying he believes the Pope is wrong.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, the 47th president of the United States appeared unrepentant when asked about his remarks, which have drawn international condemnation.

“He was very much against what I’m doing with regard to Iran, and you cannot have a nuclear Iran. Pope Leo would not be happy with the end result,” the president said, adding, “I think he’s very weak on crime and other things.”
