Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni voiced support for Pope Leo XIV on Tuesday after the pontiff faced criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump had called Leo “terrible” in a social media post Sunday, later sharing an AI-generated image depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure, prompting backlash among some Christians. “I express my solidarity with Pope Leo,” Meloni said, adding she would not feel at ease in a society where religious leaders follow political direction. #popeleo #meloni #italy #geopolitics
