(NEW YORK) — Pope Leo addressed President Donald Trump on Saturday while aboard the papal plane on his trip to Angola.

The pope said recent remarks that appeared to address the U.S. president were prepared two weeks ago, before Trump had commented on him.

“Yet as it happens, it was looked at as if I was trying to debate, again, the president, which is not my interest at all,” he said.
