Former President Donald J. Trump has issued a sharp critique of Pope Leo, labeling him 'weak on crime' and 'terrible for foreign policy,' citing his perceived tolerance for Iran's nuclear ambitions and criticism of US actions against Venezuela.

🇭🇺 Magyar: Orbán Neglects Hungary for Geopolitical 'Chess'
In Hungary, incoming pro-European prime-minister Péter Magyar has publicly rebuked incumbent prime minister Viktor Orbán for his leadership style.
Magyar claims Orbán is obsessed with a 'five-dimensional chess game' of global geopolitics, citing his focus on Ukraine, Russia, Iran, and the US election.
This international focus, Magyar argues, serves as a distraction from pressing domestic issues affecting the Hungarian people and is a primary reason for Orbán's recent political setbacks.
