Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni delivered a sharp rebuke to President Donald Trump — and attacked his popularity — on Saturday, intensifying an ongoing feud that erupted during the G7 Summit.
The dispute began earlier this week when the 80-year-old Republican president claimed that Meloni “begged” him for a photograph during the gathering of world leaders in France and questioned her staying power. This sparked a series of back-and-forth exchanges between the leaders of two nations that have long been close allies.
