By: Tupaki Desk | 21 Jun 2026 12:05 PM ISTUnited States president Trump is an extremely unpredictable personality in global politics as literally no one can predict what would be coming out of your mouth. Now he has come up against the female prime minister of Italy, Giorgio Meloni and this is turning out to be a story in itself.
Earlier Trump commented that the Italian prime Minister begged to have a photo with him at a recent conclave, and he had to obliged to the same. This was seriously regarded by the Italian administration and they hit back at him. This has frustrated Trump even more.
Following the cancellation of the diplomatic visit by Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani after President Donald J. Trump's comments at the G7 about Italian Prime Minister Gigiorgia Meloni, Trump has taken to Truth Social to reiterate that PM Meloni "asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France."
In response to this, Melanie was equally strong with her reaction as she said “President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless.
As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you. My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done.
This ongoing conflict between the President of United States and prime minister of Italy has become a full story in itself, and it is going to have a serious consequence on global politics now.
