US President Donald Trump wished Pope Leo XIV a speedy recovery on October 14 after the pontiff underwent surgery in Rome for lung cancer. Pope Leo, aged 71, had part of his right lung removed and is now out of bed, walking, and eating. The results of a biopsy to determine if the cancer has spread are pending. Trump expressed optimism about the prognosis during a campaign rally in Arizona and later aboard Air Force One while traveling to Montana. He also revealed that he is friends with the pontiff's brother, who supports him enthusiastically. Other global leaders, including Britain’s King Charles III, have offered best wishes for Pope Leo's recovery.
