The US president earlier called Europe a “decaying” group of nations led by “weak” leaders
Pope Leo XIV has criticized US President Donald Trump’s description of Europe as a “decaying” group of nations ruled by “weak” leaders. Trump also accused governments in the region of failing to help end the Ukraine conflict.
In an interview with Politico published on Wednesday, the Pope argued that brokering peace talks on the Ukraine conflict “without including Europe” is unrealistic, urging that European nations should be part of “the guarantees of security that are also being sought today and in the future.”
“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,” he said.
The EU has refused to engage in peace talks with Moscow, instead resorting to what Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called “megaphone diplomacy.”
Earlier this month, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov argued that European leaders are complicating the negotiations, making demands that are unacceptable to Moscow.

Washington is also pressuring Ukraine to sign a peace deal with Russia, despite the reluctance of Kiev’s European backers to do so. Earlier this week, the Financial Times reported, citing officials, that Trump’s envoys called for a swift response from Vladimir Zelensky with the aim of reaching an agreement by Christmas.
