"“I do not look at my role as being political or politician. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think that the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing and I will continue to speak out loudly against war looking to promote peace promoting dialogue in multilateral relationships among the states to look for just solutions to problems. Too many people are suffering in the world today, too many innocent people are being killed. And I think someone has to stand up and say there's a better way to do this. [...] I have no fear of neither the Trump administration nor speaking out loudly about the message of the gospel.”" "Papież odniósł się do wpisu amerykańskiego prezydenta podczas swojej podróży do Algierii. Stwierdził, że nie boi się gróźb ze strony administracji Trumpa, ale zarazem nie będzie wchodził z nią w polemikę. Leon XV zapowiedział kontynuowanie swojego sprzeciwu wobec wojny, aby promować pokojowe rozwiązanie konfliktów."
