Trump Insults Meloni Again Amid Spat over G7 Photo Claims
Meloni called Trump’s photo claim fabricated as Italy’s foreign minister canceled a U.S. trip amid the dispute, officials said.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump attacked Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, claiming she repeatedly requested a photo at the G-7 summit and alleging Italy failed to support U.S. operations during the Iran war.
- This public spat intensified after Trump claimed in a Friday La7 interview that Meloni "begged" for the photo, with the broadcaster airing a dubbed version of the conversation.
- Trump further complained that Italy denied American bombers access to a base in Sicily during the Iran war, though Meloni insisted that offensive operations require parliamentary backing.
- The diplomatic fallout led the Italian government to cancel a planned trip to the United States scheduled for June 21 and 22, as Meloni called the accusations "completely fabricated."
- Trump claimed on Saturday that Meloni "wants to be friends again" following the U.S. military victory over Iran, while Meloni maintains her popularity depends on defending Italy's national interests.
