Washington – US President And Donald Trump Italian Prime Minister Giorgio And Melony The war of words continues. On Truth Social, Trump accused Meloni of doing poorly in Italy and being unpopular. Trump said Meloni repeatedly asked to take photos with him during the G7 summit and that Meloni may be using such tactics because of his declining popularity in his own country.

‘Their popularity in Italy is very bad. Perhaps it’s because they reject America, which loves and protects Italy and has stopped Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. (So ​​did NATO).’-Trump said. Trump also accused Meloni of supporting Iran instead of Italy’s ally, the US.

“They didn’t even allow us to use Italy’s landing strips or runways. It caused great difficulty. This is when the US is contributing billions of dollars to protect Italy and the NATO alliance. Now that the US has defeated Iran militarily, Meloni has come back to be a friend to increase popularity.-Trump said.

At the same time, Meloni responded that it was unwise to attack without provocation. She added that her popularity is not based on her friendship with Trump. ‘My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interest. That’s what I’ve been doing. You don’t need to think about my popularity. You watch your popularity.’ – said Meloni on Instagram.

Trump had told a television channel yesterday that Meloni was ‘squeamish’ to take a photo with him during the G-7 summit. But Meloni’s response was that Trump’s claim was completely fabricated.
