On April 14, the New York Fed announced that the Federal Reserve's unrealized losses on its large bond holdings decreased compared to 2024, with the paper loss for 2025 amounting to $844.2 billion, down from $1.06 trillion in 2024. This data was disclosed during the release of the annual report for the System Open Market Account (SOMA), which encompasses a significant amount of cash, bonds, and other assets held by the Federal Reserve. The unrealized losses on the Fed's bond holdings are primarily an accounting matter, and both the Fed and many observers believe that such paper losses will not impact the Fed's operations, as there are no plans to sell its holdings of U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. As long as these assets are held to maturity, there will be no actual losses relative to their purchase prices. However, some argue that these paper losses reflect a negative record of the Fed's use of its balance sheet as a tool for market stability and stimulus, and they believe that these losses could theoretically translate into actual problems in the future.

On April 14, U.S. President Trump once again criticized Pope Leo XIII for opposing the war in Iran. When asked if he should apologize to Leo XIII after his previous harsh criticism of the Pope, Trump stated, "No, I don’t need to, because Pope Leo said something wrong. He strongly opposes my actions regarding Iran, and you can’t allow Iran to have nuclear weapons." Trump claimed that if Iran were to gain nuclear capability, the Pope would "not be happy with the end result," adding, "You will see millions of people die, and that won’t happen." He also accused the Pope of being "very weak on crime and other issues." "There’s nothing to apologize for. He’s wrong," Trump said. "He doesn’t like what we’re doing regarding Iran, but Iran wants to be a nuclear-armed country so they can wipe out the world. That won’t happen."
