00:00Trump willing to meet with Pope, despite criticism.

00:04Pope Leo XIV has not shied away from criticizing President Donald Trump.

00:09Trump has now said he is willing to have an audience with the first American pontiff.

00:14Pope Leo, a native of Chicago, has spoken against Trump's aggressive migration policies,

00:19calling the administration's treatment of migrants inhuman and not pro-life, per Politico.

00:25Trump told Politico that he had not heard the Pope's criticisms.

00:27I haven't seen that. I mean, I mean, he, maybe he has.

00:33I mean, he also didn't like the wall.

00:35You know, they didn't like the wall, Trump said in an episode of The Conversation, which aired Tuesday.

00:42The wall turned out to be great.

00:45Trump was referring to Pope Francis, who called Trump's U.S.-Mexico border wall not Christian.

00:50He also called Trump's mass deportation plans a disgrace.

00:54When asked if he was willing to meet with the Pope, Trump answered, why not?

00:59Sure, I will. Why not? He said.

01:02Pope Leo recently urged Trump not to launch a military invasion of Venezuela,

01:07saying there could be another way to bring about change, if that is what the United States decides to do.

01:12But I haven't heard any statements from the Pope, Trump said.

01:17I'm sure he's a lovely man. His brother's a lovely man.

01:21Do you know his brother is a serious MAGA?

01:24Louis Provost, Pope Leo's older brother, has supported Trump and met with him at the White House in May.

01:30When the Pope was a cardinal, he reposted on social media an op-ed that criticized Vice President J.D. Vance,

01:37a Catholic convert, for his interpretation of the faith and Washington's immigration program.

01:42Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?

01:46The op-ed reposted.
