Meloni Slams Trump Over Alleged Photo Lie

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni is slamming former President Trump after he allegedly claimed she “begged” for a photo at the G7 — a claim she says is fabricated and offensive. Meloni dropped a video reacting with shock, accusing Trump of double standards and questioning his energy toward Western enemies. The Italian government is furious, with Foreign Minister Tajani canceling a U.S. trip over the remarks, which Italy calls “serious and offensive.” Though NPR can’t verify Trump’s exact words due to a dubbed Italian interview, the incident has sparked unity across Italy’s political spectrum — even Meloni’s opponents are backing her. What was once a strong alliance is now fraying, especially after Trump’s earlier attacks on Pope Francis, which Meloni condemned. The rift is deepening, with both leaders’ futures and upcoming elections hanging in the balance. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
