Summary
Meloni begged for photo with me, I felt sorry for her says Trump. (ANSA) - ROME, JUN 19 - United States President Donald Trump told La7 television's Aria che Tira programme on Friday that Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni "begged" him to take a photo with her at this week's G7 summit. Trump accused Italy of not being helpful and said Meloni had changed. The Italian prime minister accused her one-time close ally of fabricating a story about her, after the US President told an Italian TV channel that she had "begged" him to take a photo with her at a G7 summit.
Furthermore, Trump smiled back, saying “I was abandoned.” "No, you were not," the prime minister immediately responded, laughing. (ANSA). During one meeting at the G7, Trump said he had been "abandoned" by Meloni in an exchange at which European Council President Antonio Costa and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also took part in. Meloni said she was 'stunned' by Trump's comments to Italian channel La7 in which he said Meloni 'wanted a picture with me so badly'.
