A public dispute has emerged between former US President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni concerning a photograph request during a summit.
Schriftgröße
The clash has opened an unusually personal rift between Trump and one of Europe’s most prominent right-wing leaders, who had sought to cast herself as a bridge between Washington and the continent during Trump’s return to power.
Meloni angrily denied the claim, calling it “made up”, but Trump doubled down in a post on Truth Social, saying Meloni had asked “over and over” for a photograph during the summit.
He also accused her of trying to repair relations with Washington for domestic political reasons after Italy failed to support US action against Iran.
