Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has told US President Donald Trump to look after his own popularity after he accused his NATO ally of trying to boost her domestic ratings by repairing ties with Washington.
The Italian premier had accused Trump on Friday of being a liar for alleging that she had "begged" him for a photo with her during this week's Group of Seven summit in France.
He repeated the assertion on Saturday, misspelling her name as "Gigiorgia" as he posted on his Truth Social platform that "she wants to be friends again in order to get her 'numbers up'".
