Meloni outraged by Trump's claim she 'begged' for a photo

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has expressed outrage over US President Donald Trump's statements regarding the recent G7 summit. Trump allegedly claimed that Meloni had 'begged' for a photo opportunity with the White House host during the summit. These remarks have sparked a sharp reaction from Italy's leader.

Meloni denied such a scenario, emphasizing that her conduct during the summit was professional and in line with protocol. The Prime Minister stated that these allegations are false and offensive. She also indicated that such comments could damage relations between the two countries. While exact words were not disclosed, sources report that she is 'furious' about Trump's statements.

It remains unclear whether this incident will affect future cooperation between Italy and the US. The G7 summit took place recently, addressing global issues. This disagreement surfaced publicly only after the summit, highlighting tensions between the two leaders.
