In his statement, Trump said that the Italian Prime Minister repeatedly requested to take a picture with me, he requested to take a picture at the G7 meeting in France.
He said that the graph of Giorgia Meloni’s popularity in Italy is going down a lot, the reason for the decline in Meloni’s popularity is probably because of not listening to America on the Iran issue, Giorgia Meloni did not even allow us to use Italian runways.
The United States pays billions of dollars annually to protect Italy and other NATO allies, now that America has defeated Iran, now Meloni wants friendship again to increase popularity, no thanks. It should be noted that yesterday, US President Trump had said in an interview with an Italian TV channel that Giorgia Meloni begged a lot to take a picture with him at the G7 meeting.
After the US President’s statement, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni slammed him and said that Donald Trump’s statements are completely fabricated, I am really surprised, I do not understand why the US President behaves like this towards his allies, and this is not the first time.
After Trump’s statement, relations between the US and Italy became tense and the Italian Foreign Minister canceled a planned visit to the US next week.
