Trump and Pope Leo are strong Americans.

One leader said: "Fight!" One leader said: "Peace."

Trump and Pope Leo XIV are very different.

Leo is now a leader. The two leaders are Americans. People ask about America.

People thought the Pope is not from America because America is strong. But now Pope Leo XIV from America is the new Pope.

David Gibson said: "Leo's election is strange. Many people in the world think it is good. They think he can speak for them. He will not act against them."

Pope Leo is from America.

People were happy and surprised.

Trump likes to be first.

Trump put a picture online. The picture was him like a pope. Some people did not like the picture. Trump said it was funny.

Trump said good things about Leo.

Leo is also a leader. He talks to small groups. He was born in Chicago. He was in Peru for many years. Pope Francis made him a leader in 2023.

Other popes talked about world problems. This pope talks about politics too.

Leo talks about news. He says people can speak freely. Trump talks about news too. But he is not nice.

Trump and Pope Leo are different leaders.

Leo shared a story.

He talked about helping people from other places.

Leo spoke Italian. He said the church must be good to people. The church must be open. It must welcome people. Like the big square.

Vance said the church is old. He said it is not about politics or social media. He said the church is about helping people.

A man said religion and politics are not the same.

They teach people about good things.

Is the Pope American?

Leo lived in Peru for many years.

Leo helps poor people first.

Leo is from the U.S. He is the first U.S. pope. He is the second pope from America.

He said the pope is good. He helps people. The U.S. leader is not the same.

Some people say Leo is not like Americans. His family from the U.S. did not help him become pope. Trump was also there.

American church leaders talked at a press meeting. They said the new leader is not so American. They think he will work well with the leader of the country.

No.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan said, "My brother cardinals thought he was good."

The men knew about things in the US.

He is from the U.S. He knows the U.S.
