US President Donald Trump’s remarks about Pope Leo were “unacceptable”, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Monday, toughening her response after earlier facing criticism for failing to condemn Trump’s attack on the pontiff directly. “I find President Trump’s words towards the Holy Father unacceptable. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church, and it is right and normal for him to call for peace and to condemn every form of war,” Meloni said in a statement.
