US EditionPope Leo urges Donald Trump not to try to oust Venezuelan president by force
- On Tuesday, Pope Leo told reporters on the papal plane returning to Rome from Beirut that the United States should avoid any military incursion to remove Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
- There is an ultimatum from U.S. President Donald Trump to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro demanding resignation and threatening military removal, while shifting U.S. signals and a phone exchange raise invasion fears in Venezuela.
- The pope recommended dialogue and economic pressure as alternatives, saying church leaders in Venezuela and the nuncio are seeking to calm the situation and protect the people.
- The timing of Leo's remarks, amid heightened tensions, means his May 8, 2025 election as the first US-born pope could influence United States-Venezuela diplomacy.
- Leo said he has begun small conversations with regional leaders and intends to continue them personally or through the Holy See, while his Middle East trip emphasised dialogue and friendship between faiths.
