US President Donald Trump wants an American to be elected as the next pope. This opinion was expressed by "Bild" correspondent Herbert Bauernebel.
According to him, for Trump, participating in the funeral of Pope Francis was an important event.
"He has many Catholic voters: 54% of American Catholics voted for the Republican. For his part, Trump himself has been calling himself a "Christian without a religion" since 2020 - i.e. neither Protestant nor Catholic," recalled "Bild".
However, the publication adds that none of the 10 American cardinals is yet considered a favorite, so it will be very difficult for the American president to influence the conclave.
