Meloni Responds to Trump's Claim She Asked for Photo at G7 Summit

19 Haziran 2026The Guardian
  • Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has expressed disbelief after US President Donald Trump claimed she begged him for a photo during the G7 summit. Meloni refuted Trump's assertion, stating he 'totally invented' the story in an interview.
  • This incident comes after the two leaders seemed to be mending their relationship following previous tensions over the US-Israeli conflict.
  • The relationship between Meloni and Trump has been tumultuous, especially following their disagreements over foreign policy. Their recent one-on-one meetings at the G7 were seen as an attempt to restore rapport, making Trump's remarks particularly damaging.
  • This incident highlights the fragility of international relationships, particularly between leaders who have previously aligned. Trump's comments may serve to undermine Meloni's credibility domestically and internationally, raising questions about the authenticity of their diplomatic interactions.
