Tensions between U.S. President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni have escalated into a full-blown diplomatic dispute following renewed claims linked to the G7 summit in France. Trump alleged that Meloni repeatedly asked for a photograph with him during the gathering of world leaders, saying she requested it 'over and over' during the event. He also suggested that the Italian leader is facing political challenges at home and criticized Italy’s cooperation with the United States during the recent Iran conflict. Responding to this, Meloni described the attacks as senseless and unprovoked while defending Italy’s national interests and constitutional procedures. Show more Show less
