Pope Francis has expressed hope that Donald Trump’s presidency will create opportunities for all as the former United States president prepares to return to the White House.
Trump will be inaugurated today as the 47th president of the
US after defeating outgoing Vice-President Kamala Harris in a closely fought
election last November.
In a congratulatory message to Trump, before he is
officially sworn in, the pope prayed for Trump’s wisdom, strength, and
protection.
“Inspired by your nation’s ideals of being a land of
opportunity and welcome for all, it is my hope that under your leadership the
American people will prosper and always strive to build a more just society,
where there is no room for hatred, discrimination or exclusion,” Francis added.
“At the same time, as our human family faces numerous
challenges, not to mention the scourge of war, I also ask God to guide your
efforts in promoting peace and reconciliation among peoples.
“With these sentiments, I invoke upon you, your family, and
the beloved American people an abundance of divine blessings.”
Trump has pledged to check off dozens of campaign policy
priorities on his first day in office including an executive action on
immigration.
Stephen Miller, Trump’s incoming deputy chief of staff for
policy, said there would be a sweeping suite of actions including invoking a
national emergency at the border, some “arrests, and removals”.
