President Donald Trump sharply criticized Pope Leo XIV Sunday as “WEAK on crime” and “terrible for Foreign Policy,” igniting a feud with the first American leader of the Catholic Church after the pontiff's Iran war criticism. The pope hit back, telling NBC News that he had no fear and vowing to keep up his appeals for peace that he said were rooted in the gospel.
