Trump to Read Bible Verse in Oval Office Amid Controversy

April 19, 2026 • Google News World

Former US President Donald Trump is scheduled to read a Bible verse from the Oval Office, according to reports. The event follows a recent feud between Trump and Pope Leo.

Trump will participate in a weeklong “America Reads the Bible” event in Washington D.C., which began on Monday with hundreds of people gathering on the red carpet for the occasion. The event aims to promote reading and spiritual growth among Americans.

The White House has confirmed that Trump will read from the Bible during the event, although no specific verse or date has been announced. The Pope’s office had previously expressed disappointment over Trump’s comments on the Catholic Church, but it is unclear if this event is related to those remarks.

Trump’s participation in the event comes days after he sparked controversy among some Christian groups with his comments on the Bible and its relevance to modern society. However, no further details have been released about the specific verse or context of Trump’s reading.

The White House has declined to comment on whether Trump’s reading will address any recent controversies surrounding the Pope or the Catholic Church.
