Trump Invites Pope to Join “Council of Peace”
World
On January 21, Donald Trump sent an invitation to Pope Leo XIV to join his newly created “Council of Peace.” No official response has yet been received from the Vatican.
The pontiff has previously demonstrated an independent stance on international issues. The Vatican condemned the attempted takeover of power in Venezuela, and later Pope Leo XIV emphasized that the Greenland issue should be resolved through negotiations, without military or economic pressure.
Pope Leo XIV now faces a choice: to support Trump’s peace initiative, as befits a Christian leader, or to resist, upholding the principle of peace based on love and diplomacy rather than force.
Experts note that the Pope’s decision could have both symbolic and practical significance for strengthening international dialogue and peace processes, especially given the controversial role of the US on the global stage.
