‘She Wants To Be Friends Again’: Trump Escalates Feud With Meloni, Says ‘She Asked Over And Over For A Photo’

US President Donald Trump on Saturday escalated his war of words with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, reiterating his claim that she repeatedly sought a photograph with him during the recent G7 Summit in France.

In a post on social media, Trump claimed that Meloni repeatedly requested photographs with him during the recent G7 Summit in France, while alleging that her domestic popularity in Italy had declined.

“She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity,” Trump wrote, suggesting that her stance on US efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining or developing a nuclear weapon had contributed to her political troubles.

The US President also criticised Meloni for allegedly denying American forces access to Italian landing strips and runways during operations linked to the Iran conflict, describing the decision as “a great logistical inconvenience” for the United States.
