Pope Leo expresses concern over US-Canada relations following the end of trade talks initiated by President Trump.
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) -Pope Leo lamented on Friday that the United States and Canada were experiencing "great difficulties" in their relations, in a likely reference to U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to cut off US-Canada trade talks.
"Canada and the United States ... as we are sitting here, are experiencing great difficulties," Leo, the first U.S. pope, told a meeting at the Vatican.
"Two countries that were once considered the closest allies at times have become separated from one another," he said.
