- Meloni vehemently denied all of Trump’s claims, calling them fabrications.
US President Donald Trump has a long relationship with controversies. Every now and then, Trump keeps making such statements in public, after which a series of criticisms start, but he still keeps repeating his words continuously. This time, US President Donald Trump has given such a statement regarding Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, due to which a tense situation is being seen in the relations between America and Italy.
In fact, President Trump once again reiterated his claim and said that during the G-7 summit held in France, Italy’s PM Georgia Meloni had repeatedly requested to be photographed with him and Meloni’s motive behind this was to further increase her popularity in Italy.
Trump shared a post on Truth Social regarding Meloni
US President Donald Trump wrote in a post on the social media platform Truth Social, ‘Italy’s PM Georgia Meloni repeatedly demanded to be photographed with me during the G-7 summit in France.’ He claimed that Meloni’s popularity was declining in Italy and linked this to his stance on US efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring or developing nuclear weapons.
Trump said, ‘His popularity level is falling in Italy, maybe because he did not support America on the issue of preventing Iran from acquiring or developing nuclear weapons. However, NATO also did the same.

Trump further said, ‘Meloni did not even allow us to use Italy’s landing strips or runways, which was a huge logistical problem and this is the situation when America spends hundreds of billions of dollars every year for the security of Italy and other so-called NATO allies. And now, when America has defeated Iran militarily, they want to establish friendship again to increase their popularity. No, thanks!’
