Pope Leo urges US to avoid military action in Venezuela

Pope Leo, who is from the U.S. and knows a lot about Latin America, talked to reporters on a plane.

He said the U.S. should not use military force to remove Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro.

Instead, he suggested talking things out or using economic pressure.

The U.S. has been thinking about different ways to deal with Venezuela, including military options.

The pope mentioned that the messages from the U.S. about Venezuela have been confusing.

He also noted that there was a phone call between the two presidents, but there are still worries about possible military actions.
