Italy's Giorgia Meloni fires back at Trump over G7 photo claim
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni denied U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that she 'begged' for a photo at the G7, criticizing his treatment of Washington’s allies. Analysts suggest her association with Trump is now a liability as she transitions from a populist to a practical politician, aware of his electoral unpopularity in Europe.
