US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson says his faith shapes his attitude to political opponents.

Speaking to Politico, he said: ‘I’m a Bible-believing Christian … You’re supposed to love your enemies. Nobody in this building is my enemy. We have political opposition and people on the other side of the aisle and even sometimes people in our own camp, but they’re not enemies … You know, the Bible’s very clear. You’re supposed to bless even those who persecute you. I’m getting a lot of practice in that right now.’
