Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has publicly accused President Donald Trump of fabricating a story about her during the G7 Summit in France.
In an interview with an Italian news outlet, Trump claimed that Meloni "begged" him for a photo at the Evian-les-Bains summit. "She's probably happy I talked to her. I didn't have to talk to her," Trump told La7 TV channel.
"She begged me to take a picture with her. She wanted a picture with me so badly," Trump continued per the translation. "I wouldn't have taken it, but I felt sorry for her."
Upon learning of Trump's remarks, Meloni released a statement declaring she was "astonished" and that the account was "completely made up." The Italian leader also rebuked the president for showing greater deference to Western adversaries than to longstanding U.S. allies, reports The Mirror U.S.

Yeah and it’s hilarious
Italy (Meloni) screwed up by refusing to aid us in The Strait of Hormuz.
Payback’s a b!tch.
and the more she whines the truer it sounds ,LOL
It wasn’t a smart thing for Trump to say in the first place. Pointlessly insulting and antagonistic.
For the ENTIRE 16 months of Pres. Trump’s second term, he has crapped on America’s long-time friends & allies, while cozying up to dictators like Pootin and Lil Kim
Then Team Trump is genuinely surprised when those crapped-on allies don’t want to help with the latest military escapade ... why?
Suzie Wiles needs to rein in the boorish Trump proclivities. i do think he is overtired - and has said many ill-advised things recently - Syria could handle Hizbollah (fortunately Al Sha-ara will have none of that), lording it over Israel - proclaiming himself ‘boss’ at G7 and yesterday saying he had power without limits... i voted for him but someone needs to retrieve him from the l’universe.
Meloni made the first error in the US-Italy relationship. She needs to take responsibility for all the consequences of that error.
Well for starters it affects their long-term security, secondly, we feed the failing Euro-weenies lots of money. I am not against pulling out of Europe all together and see how long they last on their socialist and muslim invasion track.
You aren’t even American. Your commie boy globalist Carney is no prize.
Go away.
“Rages” Sheesh- her response was fairly tame-
You should do everyone a favor and go back to Blue Sky.
“Pointlessly insulting and antagonistic.”
Seemingly pointless
But…have you been paying attention? This is what he does.
“ America’s long-time friends & allies”
Like Italy? How are they friends or allies?
Seriously. How?
BS, allies help, Europe has not been an ally for over a decade, in fact they have made it policy to grift off the USA and to resist us politically, trying to weaken our country..
“Team Trump is genuinely surprised when those crapped-on allies don’t want to help with the latest military escapade”
No they’re not. Who told you that? Joy Behar? Dana Perino?
“Then Team Trump is genuinely surprised when those crapped-on allies don’t want to help with the latest military escapade ... why?”
Yeah, shocker. /s
“She needs to take responsibility for all the consequences of that error.”
She is Euro. They never take responsibility for for anything. Trump sees it differently. Then the sappy, schmuck, patsy Americans pounce on him like clockwork. Italy does nothing for the US
"She begged me to take a picture with her. She wanted a picture with me so badly. I wouldn't have taken it, but I felt sorry for her."
“Europe has not been an ally for over a decade, in fact they have made it policy to grift off the USA and to resist us politically, trying to weaken our country”
What is this? 1956? What has Italy done for us since NATO was formed?
