#Italy foreign minister cancels trip to #US over #Trump lies about #Meloni

Trump’s comments to an Italian media outlet about PM #GiorgiaMeloni have sparked a fresh diplomatic incident.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced Friday that he was canceling a planned trip to the US, where he was to meet with Secy of State #MarcoRubio, in response to Trump’s reported remarks. Tajani called Trump’s claims “offensive,” & Meloni said they were “completely fabricated.”

Trump doubles down on feud with Italian Prime Minister Meloni, insisting she asked for G7 photo

US President Donald Trump deepened his feud with Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni on Saturday, doubling down on claims that she insisted on a photo with him at the G7 summit in France this week.

CNN

It is the latest dip in the deteriorating relationship between the once-close leaders & a further fracture between the #US & its #Europe #allies, coming after some signs of repair at the G7 summit this week in France.

In an interview with #Italy’s La7 TV, #Trump claimed Meloni had “begged” him for a photo at the summit, & he obliged because he felt sorry for her, according to a dubbed Italian translation posted by the outlet.

#Meloni refuted the comments in a sharply worded video posted Friday morning, saying they deserved “an immediate response.”

“Donald Trump’s statements are completely fabricated. I’m frankly shocked. I don’t know why the president of the United States behaves this way towards his own allies, & it’s not the first time it’s happened,” she said in the video posted on X.

“I can only say that it’s a shame he doesn’t have the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the #UnitedStates, with leaderships with which he instead appears much more accommodating,” she continued.

“But you must remember one thing∶ #Italy & I never beg,” #Meloni said.

Caught in a lie, #TrumpLies even more.

He is so pathetic.

Trump deepens the dustup with Italy's Meloni over a disputed G7 photo

President Donald Trump is lashing out at Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni once more. Trump is insisting she asked “over and over” for a photo with him at the recent Group of Seven summit in France and he's criticizing what he says was Italy’s lack of cooperation during the Iran war. Trump's remarks on social media Saturday are deepening the spat between the allies. Meloni has called Trump's claim “completely fabricated," and is now saying that Trump's “constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless.” The dustup led Italy’s foreign minister to cancel a planned trip to the United States.

AP News

“Italian Prime Minister Gigiorgia Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France,” #Trump wrote on his social media platform…misspelling her first name….

He continued: “She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon (But so did NATO, for that matter!).”

@Nonilex Trump simply has no idea how toxic he is, does he? But he sure is getting the job done for those who are using him!

@Nonilex Her punishment for not supporting his war is simple. Just gaslight her. Shame on this creature. 😕

I'm wondering whether international politics have always been this 7th grade level of sillyness...

I've read enough history to expect so, yes.

@maddad @Nonilex already done. Decades ago 😂 We have chock full of US bombs in OUR frigging territory but unfortunately no government ever asked for the keys. Now we have the problem of finding the Italian equivalent for "leopards eating faces moment" to explain Gioggia what happened. 🤷🙃

@Nonilex I guess just any petty BS to take the attention off how he is the biggest loser in American History.

@Nonilex
And her response was Spkr Pelosi level shade! 😎

@Nonilex
There is a history of the CIA directly meddling in Italian politics, hence Meloni is rather polite in the rebuttal. Meloni fits the profile of every post-war leader in Italy, however having the advantage that semi-openly being fascist is more tolerated by the Italian electorate than it was.

@Nonilex
Sure, she begged him on her knees for a photo and offered him a blowjob.

He lives in his own world.

@Nonilex If only, if only more people would be more like this!!!!

I like that she's standing up to Trump but let's not go too far, the world has more than enough Giorgia Meloni as it is 😐

@alessandro @Nonilex OK, be *like* this, but not *too much* like it.
