Pope appeals to Trump not to break with Europe


Pope appeals to Trump not to break with Europe

"The comments about Europe, which were also made in recent interviews, are, in my opinion, an attempt to break apart what I believe should continue to be a very important relationship today and in the future," the pope told reporters after a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky outside Rome on Tuesday, Politico reports.

The Pope also believes that the Trump administration's peace plan for Ukraine "unfortunately" points towards a "major change for what for many, many years was a true alliance between Europe and the United States."

Seeking a peace agreement without including Europe in the talks is not realistic.

The statement came after Trump, in an interview with Politico on Monday, dismissed Europe as a group of countries in decline led by weak leaders.
