​​​​​​​The Pope has told American Catholics to "choose the lesser evil" as he criticised both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Pope Francis launched the surprise intervention in the US election on his flight from Singapore to Rome on Friday.

He was critical of vice president Harris over her stance supporting abortion rights, claiming the procedure is an "assassination", and said that Mr Trump's plan to deport millions of immigrants was a "grave" sin.

Then, he called on American Catholics to "choose the lesser evil" when they headed to the polls in November.

He did not elaborate further.
