Former U.S. President Donald Trump has again publicly criticized Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, alleging she actively sought his favor to boost her approval ratings. Trump made the claims in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, reiterating accusations that Meloni requested a photo opportunity during the G7 summit. He further accused her of failing to support the United States’ stance on Iran. This is not the first instance of Trump making such assertions about Meloni; previous comments sparked controversy and denials from Italian officials. The latest remarks suggest a continuing tension between the two leaders. The White House has not yet commented on Trump’s latest statements. Meloni’s office has not issued a response to this specific post as of yet.
