After Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni called Trump’s comments about Pope Leo XIV “unacceptable”, Trump has now hit back.
“I’m surprised by him. I thought he had courage, but I was wrong,” Trump told the media in a phone call. He said that she is not the same person anymore and he has not spoken to her for a long time.
Let us tell you that considering the earlier close relations between the two leaders, this spat between them is very important.
‘Iran will blow up Italy in two minutes’
When asked about Melanie’s statement that Trump’s comments were “unacceptable”, Trump said, “He himself is unacceptable. He is unacceptable because he doesn’t care that Iran has nuclear weapons and that if he got the chance, he would blow up Italy in two minutes.”

He also repeated his criticism of the Pope, saying that Leo “doesn’t understand that Iran is a nuclear threat. He doesn’t understand it; he’s not the kind of person who should be talking about war, because he doesn’t have the slightest idea of what’s really going on.”
Leo, who last week criticized Trump’s public threats to “wipe out” Iranian civilization, said he has “no fear at all” of the Trump administration and is simply spreading God’s message.
‘It will take time to remove mistrust between America and Iran’
On the other hand, Vice President J.D. Vance said it will take time to overcome mistrust between the US and Iran, but he feels “pretty good” about the current state of peace talks.
Vance, who led talks in Pakistan over the weekend that failed to reach an agreement, said these were the most high-level talks between US and Iranian officials in nearly 50 years and that there was still considerable mistrust between the two sides.
“You can’t solve this problem overnight,” Vance said at a Turning Point USA event in Georgia yesterday. He added, “But yes, I think the people we were negotiating with wanted to compromise.” “I feel pretty good about our current situation,” he said.
