Pope Leo XIV said Saturday that remarks he made this week in which he said the «world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants» were not directed at President Donald Trump, a report said.
The pope, speaking onboard a flight to Angola during his 10-day Africa tour, said reporting about his comments «has not been accurate in all its aspects» and his speech «was prepared two weeks ago, well before the president ever commented on myself and on the message of peace that I am promoting,» according to Reuters.
The news outlet cited the pope as saying his comments were not aimed at Trump.
«As it happens, it was looked at as if I was trying to debate the president, which is not in my interest at all,» the pope reportedly said.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.
Trump last Sunday accused Pope Leo XIV of being «terrible» on foreign policy as the pontiff has criticized the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
«He talks about ‘fear’ of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart,» Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
«I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon,» he continued.

Trump blasts Spain migrant surge as ‘catastrophe,’ warns US could face worse if Democrats regain power

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump said Friday during a Cabinet meeting that scenes of migrants flooding into Spain’s enclave of Ceuta from Morocco looked like a «catastrophe,» but that the U.S. could see worse in the future if Democrats regain power.
«You know, I saw Spain yesterday, and I watched the catastrophe that took place. It looks like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people. And that same thing is going to happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected,» Trump said Friday at Camp David. «Except worse, much bigger, much easier to get into. Despite the fact that we have built thousands of miles of wall, which I said we were going to do. But if we didn’t have that, forget it. But we have the safest border in the world. If we’re not in office, our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain look small time.»
«And when I watched it, I said, boy, I said, ‘I’m going to say it because I knew you were going to be at Camp David.’ And I say, ‘That’s going to be a talking point for the midterms, because when you look at what happened to Spain, they don’t know what to do.’ And it’s happening again today,» the president continued. «They’re coming in by the tens of thousands. It’s just invading the country. And what that is weak law, bad management, but very liberal law. They passed a couple of laws and people read, you know, people are smart. They read from other countries, and they swam that 3-mile swim or however they got in.»
«But nobody’s seen anything like it. That will look good compared to what’s going to happen to the United States,» Trump also said. «The biggest thing, the worst thing that Biden did is allowing 25 million people into our country, because many of those people are criminals. They’re murderers,» Trump also said. «A lot of them are gone now. We got them out. But they allowed people to come into this country that you can’t allow to come into a country.»

Trump made similar comments to Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich earlier Friday morning.
«It’s terrible. Remember that picture. That’s going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in,» Trump said.
«If the Democrats get in, you will not live a very good life,» he warned.
U.S. border security has remained a key plank of the president’s campaign and policy focus throughout his political career.
An English translation of a Friday Spanish-language post on X from Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said, «The Government will guarantee the safety of the residents of Ceuta, intensifying the presence of the Security Forces and Corps on the city’s streets.» The post also included a video of him delivering remarks in Spanish.

Ceuta, which is located along the northwestern African coast and borders Morocco, is not attached to mainland Spain.
«Additionally, we will deploy a physical containment barrier in the sea to facilitate repatriation at the border, in compliance with the Supreme Court ruling. We will expedite the repatriation files of the migrants who arrived irregularly. And we will maintain cooperation with the Moroccan authorities to continue fighting against the mafias that traffic in human beings,» the prime minister’s post added.
Around 60,000 migrants had ventured from Morocco to Ceuta over the past 24 hours, Cueta President Juan Jesús Vivas said on Friday.
At least 41 migrants lost their lives.

Rúben Amorim admitió errores en el Manchester United y explicó cómo esa etapa marcó su carrera: “Aprendí mucho”

Rúben Amorim reconoció haber cometido “muchos errores” durante su etapa al frente del Manchester United y aseguró haber “aprendido mucho” de aquella experiencia en Old Trafford. El técnico portugués, actualmente al mando del AC Milan, realizó estas declaraciones ante la prensa durante la gira de pretemporada del club rossoneri en Australia, según recogió Sports Illustrated.
El paso de Amorim por el United fue uno de los períodos más turbulentos en la historia reciente del club inglés. Llegó al banco de Old Trafford avalado por dos títulos de la Primeira Liga con el Sporting CP de Lisboa y con la etiqueta de uno de los entrenadores más prometedores del continente.
El United desembolsó hasta 11 millones de libras esterlinas (unos 14,6 millones de dólares) para liberarlo de su contrato con el club portugués. Sin embargo, apenas 14 meses después, el propio club abonó otros 15,9 millones de libras (21,2 millones de dólares) para finiquitar al técnico y a su cuerpo técnico.
El sistema táctico de Amorim, basado en una defensa de tres centrales, nunca encontró el encaje necesario en la Premier League. El United cedía demasiado control del juego a sus rivales y quedaba expuesto a la variabilidad del fútbol inglés. La última vez que un entrenador había logrado consolidar ese esquema en la élite inglesa fue Antonio Conte, cuando ganó la liga con el Chelsea hace una década.
A los problemas sobre el campo se sumó un deterioro progresivo de la relación entre Amorim y la cúpula directiva del club, entre ellos el director deportivo Jason Wilcox. La ruptura se hizo pública de forma explícita tras el empate 1-1 ante el Leeds United en lo que resultó ser su último partido al frente del equipo, cuando el técnico arremetió públicamente contra los responsables del club. En enero de 2026, le rescindieron su contrato.
La llegada de Michael Carrick como su sucesor no hizo sino amplificar el contraste: el rendimiento del equipo bajo las órdenes del excentrocampista inglés contribuyó a agudizar la percepción negativa del legado portugués en Old Trafford.
Desde su nueva etapa en el Milan, Amorim no eludió las preguntas sobre su paso por Manchester. “Lo primero es que ya no importa”, declaró el técnico en rueda de prensa, en declaraciones recogidas por Sports Illustrated. “Esa es la sensación. Hay una historia, luego algo sucede, el contexto cambia y te centras en el siguiente reto”.
No obstante, fue más allá y asumió su cuota de responsabilidad. “Aprendí mucho”, afirmó Amorim. “Sería difícil señalar una sola cosa, pero lo que sé con claridad es que cometí muchos errores. Cuando haces ese tipo de reflexión y entiendes que no era solo culpa de ellos, sino también culpa mía, creo que puedes ser mejor entrenador y mejor persona”, agregó.
El AC Milan le designó como sucesor de Massimiliano Allegri el 15 de junio de 2026, con el encargo de devolverle al club su nivel histórico en la Serie A. Los rossoneri, campeones del Scudetto en la temporada 2021-22, acumulaban dos ejercicios consecutivos por debajo de las expectativas: un octavo y un quinto puesto en las últimas dos temporadas.
El balance del portugués en Old Trafford refleja la magnitud de sus dificultades. Amorim registró los peores índices de cualquier entrenador en la historia del club en tres categorías de la Premier League, de acuerdo con los datos brindados por Sports Illustrated:
- Partidos dirigidos: 63
- Victorias: 25
- Empates: 15
- Derrotas: 23
- Porcentaje de victorias: 39,7% — el más bajo de cualquier entrenador del United en la Premier League (32% en el torneo doméstico)
- Goles encajados por partido: 1,53 — el peor registro en la historia del club
- Porcentaje de porterías a cero: 15% — el más bajo en la historia del club
- Diferencia de goles: +8
