Asked about U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to bar CNN and several other outlets from the White House, Pope Leo on Friday (September 25) reaffirmed his support for freedom of the press.
Pope Leo was greeting journalists on the two-hour flight to Paris from Rome when he was asked about the dispute between the White House and three media outlets.
The pope, an American who previously attracted Trump’s ire after criticizing the Iran war, did not refer to Trump in his response but called press coverage “very important.”
