Pope says he hopes Trump looking for 'off-ramp' in Mideast war

Pope Leo XIV said he hoped U.S. President Donald Trump was looking to end the war in the Middle East and called for a halt to the violence.

"I'm told that President Trump recently stated that he would like to end the war, hopefully he's looking for an off-ramp, hopefully he's looking for a way to decrease the amount of violence, of bombing," the pope told journalists.
