Meloni Slams Trump’s False Claims

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is firing back at Donald Trump after he claimed she “begged” for a photo at the G7 — a remark that sparked outrage across Italy, prompting Foreign Minister Tajani to cancel a U.S. trip and Meloni herself to release a video calling the allegations “completely fabricated.” She emphasized Italy doesn’t beg, a stance backed by Defense Minister Crosetto, who said Trump’s jokes harm the alliance. This latest spat follows past tensions over Iran and Ukraine, revealing growing friction between Rome and Trump despite historical ties — as Meloni, once a bridge between Europe and Washington, now stands firm against his criticisms of allies.
