The prime ministers of Italy and Canada took potshots at each other over LGBTQ rights, an unusual display of open disagreement between Group of Seven leaders attending a summit this weekend in Japan.
The spat started on Friday when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau criticized Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in front of television cameras ahead of closed-door talks.
“Canada is concerned about some of the positioning that Italy is taking in terms of LGBT rights, but I look forward to talking with you,” Trudeau said.
