Meloni Rebukes Trump After He Claims She Repeatedly Asked to Be Photographed With Him
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticized U.S. President Donald Trump after he insisted that she had repeatedly asked to be photographed with him at the G7 summit and claimed that her popularity was declining. Trump made the remark in the context of the summit, saying she had sought out photos with him and that her standing was slipping.
Meloni responded on her Instagram account, rejecting the attack as absurd and unnecessary. “The constant attacks are nonsensical,” she wrote, adding, “Being your friend certainly did not help with that. In any case, my popularity is none of your business, I recommend you mind your own.”
The exchange highlights a public spat between the two leaders, with Meloni directly pushing back on Trump’s comments about both her behavior at the summit and her political standing.
