MELONI SLAMS TRUMP’S G7 PHOTO Claims, Says 'I'M FRANKLY APPALLED' | World News | Breaking

ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS/ROME (Reuters) — A major diplomatic crisis erupted between Washington and Rome on Friday after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni fiercely rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that she "begged" him for a photograph during the recent Group of Seven (G7) summit in France, calling the remarks completely fabricated. The public fallout escalated rapidly as Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani abruptly canceled his scheduled June 21-22 diplomatic visit to the United States, branding Trump’s comments to Italian broadcaster La7 as a serious insult to the entire Italian nation. In an extraordinary direct-to-camera video response, a defiant Meloni expressed astonishment over the U.S. President's behavior toward democratic allies, sharply contrasting it with what she called his "accommodating" stance toward adversaries of the West, before issuing a definitive warning to the White House: "Neither I nor Italy ever beg." The unprecedented clash marks a historic fracturing of a once-close right-wing transatlantic partnership, which has been severely strained since April by European opposition to the U.S. war in Iran and subsequent public disputes involving the Vatican.
