I extend my heartfelt congratulations to His
Holiness Pope Leo XIV on his election as the 267th successor
to Saint Peter. This is a moment of profound significance
for the Catholic Church, offering renewed hope and
continuity amid the 2025 Jubilee Year to over a billion
faithful worldwide. The papacy carries a sacred and solemn
responsibility. Jeanette and I are united in prayer for His
Holiness, may the Holy Spirit impart wisdom, strength, and
grace as he shepherds the Church. The United States looks
forward to deepening our enduring relationship with the Holy
See with the first American
pontiff.
