Escalating spat, Trump insists Meloni asked ‘over and over’ for a photo at G7

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni repeatedly asked for a photo with him at the G7 summit, while Meloni denied the accusation and Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani canceled a U.S. visit in response. Trump criticized Italy's NATO contributions and linked Meloni's foreign policy to her domestic popularity, which he said was declining.
