Trump says he wants to see Pope ‘get well’
Pope Leo, who underwent surgery this week to remove a cancerous tumour, awaits biopsy results to determine whether the cancer has spread.
US President Donald Trump expressed his desire for Pope Leo XIV to recover fully after the pontiff underwent surgery in Rome to remove a cancerous tumor. During a campaign rally in Arizona, Trump conveyed his support, stating, "I want to see Pope Leo get well." The 71-year-old pontiff has reportedly been out of bed, walking, and eating since the tumor removal procedure.
A biopsy will be conducted to ascertain if the cancer has metastasized. Pope Leo's global followers, spanning from Chiclayo, Peru, where he was once a bishop, to his hometown of Chicago, have sent prayers for his speedy recovery. Global leaders such as Britain's King Charles III, who is also battling cancer, have extended their best wishes.
Despite the Vatican's differences with the Trump administration on issues like immigration, the pontiff has expressed a deep affection for the United States. Trump also mentioned that he had previously spoken to the Pope's brother, Louis Prevost, describing him as a "great" and "fantastic" individual who is a staunch Trump supporter.
