Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has publicly rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that she pleaded for a photo at the G7 summit, calling it “made up.” Trump accused her of seeking the photo to boost her approval ratings and criticized her for not supporting the U.S. in the Iran war. Meloni dismissed the allegation on social media, emphasizing Italy’s independence and denouncing her relationship with Trump as strained, though efforts are underway to repair diplomatic ties.
