Trump SURPRISING First Reaction to First American Pope, Calls It ‘Great Honor’ Despite Past Tensions
Donald Trump called it a “Great Honor” as Robert Prevost became the first American pope, taking the name Leo XIV.
The 69-year-old former Chicago bishop's election stunned the world and thrilled the U.S. But past tensions linger — Leo XIV previously criticized U.S. leaders, including Vice President JD Vance.
Trump, however, welcomed the election warmly, writing on Truth Social that he looks forward to meeting the new pope.
The moment marks a historic first for the Vatican and the United States, but political undertones remain impossible to ignore.
Fact check: Is Pope Leo XIV affiliated to the US Republican Party?
Speculation has been rife about the political affiliations of Pope Leo XIV, but there is no evidence that he is a "registered Republican" as some commentators claim.

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for “active review” of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.

Donald Trump has reignited tensions with Canada by offering free inclusion in the U.S.'s $175 billion "Golden Dome" missile defense system—on one explosive condition: that Canada become the 51st state. The former president’s proposal, made public via his Truth Social platform, comes with a stark alternative—pay $61 billion to join as a sovereign nation. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has slammed the suggestion, reaffirming that “Canada is not for sale.” The high-stakes demand, tied to a strategic defense pact, has sparked political backlash and renewed concerns about U.S. overreach and Canadian sovereignty.

US President Donald Trump has delayed the implementation of a 50% tariff on EU goods from June 1 to July 9, 2025, following a direct appeal from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Trump posted on Truth Social that it was a "privilege" to extend the deadline. Trade tensions remain high, with the EU warning of retaliation if a fair deal isn’t reached. The delay follows earlier tariff hikes in April, and while the UK secured a trade reprieve, Brussels continues to face pressure from US trade demands and regulatory scrutiny.

President Donald Trump has threatened Apple with a 25% tariff if it continues manufacturing iPhones outside the US. In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned CEO Tim Cook that iPhones sold in America must be built domestically—not in India or elsewhere. The warning follows Cook’s recent statement that most iPhones in the US will soon originate from India. Although finished smartphones currently enjoy tariff exemptions, Trump’s aggressive trade policies may disrupt Apple’s global supply chains and cost the company nearly $900 million this quarter alone.
