Pope Leo XIV has criticized US President Donald Trump’s description of Europe as a “decaying”<\/em> group of nations ruled by “weak”<\/em> leaders. Trump also accused governments in the region of failing to help end the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

“The remarks that were made [by Trump] about Europe also in interviews recently I think are trying to break apart what I think needs to be a very important alliance today and in the future,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov argued that European leaders are complicating the negotiations, making demands that are unacceptable to Moscow.<\/p>\n
