Cardinals urge Trump toward a moral, life-centered foreign policy

Three American cardinals—Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin—issued a joint statement urging the Trump administration to back away from aggressive foreign-policy rhetoric and actions, especially regarding Greenland and Venezuela, and to pursue a morality-based approach that prioritizes the right to life, religious liberty, and human dignity, with military action reserved as a last resort. They invoke Pope Leo XIV’s warnings about rising militarism and advocate diplomacy, multilateralism, and humanitarian aid as paths to lasting peace amid debates on U.S. foreign policy and ongoing tensions over Greenland.
