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.
'Peace be with you all,' says Pope Leo XIV in first public address since conclave election
Prevost is the first US citizen to hold the position of head of the Roman Catholic Church and in the run-up to the conclave, was not considered a frontrunner to be elected pontiff.
