Pope Leo has said he has ‘no fear’ of Donald Trump after the President launched an attack on the pontiff over his lack of support for the US-Israeli war against Iran. It comes amid a growing row between Trump and the head of the Catholic Church, who has in recent weeks condemned rhetoric coming out of the White House and called for peace in the Middle East. Trump has faced criticism for his handling of the conflict so far, including over his latest threat to blockade the Strait of Hormuz at 3pm today – a move that will likely escalate the Middle East crisis. Experts have questioned whether the planned blockade will even be an effective mechanism of reopening the vital waterway, and fear the chaos it could bring to the world’s oil markets. Whatvis your take on Trump depicting himself as Jesus ?
