The diplomatic crisis between US President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has taken a new turn.

However, he claimed that Italy has not provided the necessary support in critical times. This tension began with Trump's interview on the Italian TV channel La7, where he spoke about Meloni and claimed that Meloni begged to take a photo with him. Meloni denied these allegations and sent a message to protect Italy's pride.The war of words did not end with these statements. Trump repeated his claims on social media platforms and suggested that after the US militarily defeated Iran, Meloni tried to be friends with him again for political gain.
