Meloni ignores Trump's latest tirade

We defended Italy but they were not there for us says US President

Premier Giorgia Meloni has so far not

responded to US President Donald Trump's latest attack on her in

a spat sparked by him saying she "begged" him to have a photo

with her at last week's G7 summit, a story she said was

fabricated.

The row escalated at the weekend with Trump reiterating the

claim in a post on his Truth social-media platform and saying

Meloni only wants to patch things up with him to boost her

domestic approval rating.

Trump and Meloni had been good friends until the Iran war, with

Italy's refusal to help the US irking the American leader.

The premier hit back via a post on Instagram, calling Trump's

attacks "senseless", saying her relations with him had not

helped her approval rankings and telling him that her popularity

was none of his business.

She added that she did not intend to comment further on the row.

But Trump did, with a new post on Truth on Sunday.

"After spending Trillions of Dollars on NATO, Italy, and its

Prime Minister, wouldn't even think of becoming involved with

the Islamic Republic of Iran and their very serious Nuclear

Threat," he said.

"For decades, we defend them but, when tested, they are not

there to defend us, and the rest of the World. Not good!".

At the time of writing, Meloni had ignored those comments.
