President Donald Trump said he remains open to meeting with Pope Leo XIV and insisted he wasn't aware of the pontiff's comments expressing disagreement with his immigration policies.

The American pontiff has rebuked the White House over its treatment of immigrants and the potential invasion of Venezuela.

The pontiff also accused Trump of 'trying to break apart' a 'very important alliance' between the U.S. and Europe.

Pope Leo has hit out at President Donald Trump’s Russia-Ukraine peace proposal and has warned that the administration risks destroying the longstanding alliance between Europe and the United States.

Pope Leo has been critical of the Trump administration's immigration policy, particularly its treatment of migrants, calling it "inhuman."

"I think that while perhaps many people in the United States would be in agreement, I think that many others would see things in a different way."

President Donald Trump delivered a speech live from the White House on Wednesday night where he discussed his achievements and touched on some of his agenda for next year and beyond.

The Trump administration's new National Security Strategy is at odds with church teaching and Pope Leo's priorities on the transatlantic alliance, climate change, immigration, arms production, nuclear weapons and more.

The EWTN News and RealClear Opinion Research poll surveyed 1,000 self-identified Catholic voters in the U.S. from Nov. 9–11, nearly 10 months after Trump assumed office.
