Pope Leo says he has 'no intention to debate' with Trump

Pope Leo XIV on Monday said he had "no intention to debate" with Donald Trump, after the U.S. president criticized him over his comments on the U.S.-Iran war.

"I am not a politician," the pope told reporters aboard the papal plane as they headed to Algeria for the pontiff's first visit to Africa.

"I have no intention to debate with (Trump). The message is the same: to promote peace."
