Fielding questions from journalists on January 21, Cardinal Pietro Parolin said that tensions between the US and Europe “are not healthy and create a climate that worsens an international situation that is already serious.”
“I believe the important thing would be to eliminate tensions, to discuss the controversial points, but without entering into polemics and without fueling tensions,” the Secretary of State of His Holiness added.
Cardinal Parolin also spoke about respect for international law, the “responsible use of the press,” Venezuela, Iran, the conflict in the Holy Land, and President Trump’s Board of Peace for Gaza.
