WASHINGTON, United States, June 20, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald
Trump insisted on Saturday that Italian Prime Minister Meloni requested "over
and over" for a photo with him at a G7 meeting earlier this week, further
inflaming an extraordinary diplomatic dust up between the two allies.
"Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in
France," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "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."
