People React To Giorgia Meloni’s Response To Trump Photo Claim
In an interview broadcast on Friday morning on Italy’s La7 network, Trump claimed that Meloni had “begged” him for a photo together, and added that he agreed to do it because he felt sorry for her.
Meloni quickly rejected Trump’s claim on social media, calling his anecdote “completely fabricated” and insisting, “Italy and I do not beg.”
In addition, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced he was canceling this weekend’s previously scheduled trip to the US and called Trump’s claims “serious and offensive” toward his country and the prime minister.
Here is Meloni’s post with the comments translated by MeidasTouch.
Considering how polarising Trump is, Meloni’s take-no-prisoners response attracted a lot of positive support.
