Trump attacks Meloni again with 'restraining order' post

Premier has ignored fresh attack so far, Calenda calls US President a bully

US President Donald Trump unleashed a

fresh attack on Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni on Sunday, before

this week's NATO summit in Ankara, with a post on his Truth

social media platform with a photo of her looking at him and

"Restraining Order Needed" written above .

Trump and Meloni had had friendly relations until he fell out

with her over Italy's refusal to help the United States with the

Iran war.

At the time of writing, Meloni had not responded to the new

attack.

Carlo Calenda, the leader of the centrist, opposition Azione

party stood up for Meloni, calling Trump "a despicable two-bit

bully."

Trump's sparked a spat by saying Meloni "begged" him to have a

photo with her at last month's G7 summit.

She responded that the story was fabricated and criticised Trump

for treating his allies badly while being soft with the West's

adversaries.

When Trump doubled down in the criticism with another attack,

saying Meloni only wanted to patch things up with him to boost

her domestic approval rating, the premier hit back by calling

his 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.
