At a G7 summit press conference, Meloni stated her relationship with Trump remained “unchanged” despite past disagreements. She emphasized their strong characters and mutual commitment to national interests, noting no need for clarification when disagreements arise.
On Saturday, Trump revisited the Iran war dispute, criticizing Meloni for not allowing the U.S. to use Italy’s landing strips, citing it as a logistical issue despite U.S. financial contributions to NATO allies.
Trump mocked Meloni’s popularity in Italy, referencing her March referendum loss and linking it to her foreign policy decisions. He criticized her refusal to support U.S. efforts against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, noting similar NATO positions.
The dispute marks a unique conflict between Trump and an Italian prime minister, though not his first mistake with Italian leader names. In 2019, he endorsed then-Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, mistakenly calling him “Giuseppi” in a tweet before correcting it.
