The Pope returns for the first time to America under Trump's shadow
Pope Francis visits Uruguay, Argentina and Peru starting this Friday with a message of social justice that clashes with the discourse promoted by the United States in the region. Attention to his health after being operated on and the possible impact of ‘El Niño’ mark the trip.
Pope León XIV, a US citizen with a Peruvian passport, departs at 7am on Friday for his first trip to the Americas since being elected in May 2025. Born in Chicago, he previously worked as a missionary and bishop in Peru. He will visit Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru until November 17.
