After an Italian media outlet reported that President Donald Trump said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had “begged” him for a photo at the G7 summit this week, Meloni quickly posted a response on social media. Trump, she said, had “completely fabricated” the story, and she was “shocked.”

Trump, as self-obsessed as ever, has now sparked a diplomatic crisis with Italy.

Trump reportedly claimed that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni “begged” for a photo with him at France’s G7 summit this week.
