The three-times-married 79-year-old admitted that he risked being accused of sexism with the comments about hard-right leader Meloni, who was standing behind him on the podium.
"I'm not allowed to say it because usually it's the end of your political career if you say it -- she's a beautiful young woman," Trump said in the middle of a speech about his peace efforts for the Middle East.
"If you use the word 'beautiful' in the United States about a woman, that's the end of your political career, but I'll take my chances."
Turning round to address the 48-year-old, Trump said: "You don't mind being called beautiful, right? Because you are."
Meloni's immediate reaction could not be seen, as Trump's back was between her and the cameras.
Trump went on to call Meloni, an ideological ally when it comes to immigration and cultural issues, "incredible".
"And they really respect her in Italy. She's a very successful politician," he added.
Meloni was the only woman among around 30 leaders gathered on the stage behind Trump for the summit, where they signed a declaration pledging to help push through peace for Gaza.
Trump has previously been criticised for sexist remarks.

Nailed it.
Come on, guys. By super-model standards (or even plain-old model standards), Giorgia Meloni is not hot. BUT by leader-of-a-major nation standards, Meloni is WAY hot. Granted, it’s a low bar, but, yeah, she’s WAY hotter than an Indira Gandhi or an Angela Merkel or a Maggie Thatcher. And, needless to say, off-the-charts sex appeal compared to a Golda Meir.
Only an American woman would have her whole world crushed diwn upon her for such a comment. That is why men do not date them.
Freance 24 is a hard left anti-Trump organization equivalent to PBS.
Using the word beautiful is NOT a sexist remark, UGH
Nonsense. The video told the story. She can write in her memoir, "So there I am at the pinnacle of world power. And the president of the Unites States !! is obviously oblivious to the situation. I couldn't just let him meander off into the wilderness..."
I thought we all knew by now that conservative women look better than their liberal counterparts. Meloni shows it’s not only true for the USA.
The degenerates are giving the rest of us a lesson in why most cultures in history have treated them the way they did.
I really don’t like the practice of describing women as “hot”, though sometimes its literally true. “Hot” means the woman is in “heat” like a D-O-G, and I think that should be an offensive thing to say.
It’s a little cringy though.
Trump uses the word beautiful in every sentence, it doesn't bother me.
😊
I don’t agree. Every time I see that video clip it’s like she’s he’s personal handler. If I were her I’d let him wander off and look like the idiot that he is.
Of course. Which illustrates that he needed one.
