Trump goads Italy’s Meloni again on eve of NATO summit

#  US president Donald Trump appeared to reignite his dispute with Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni, posting a picture of her on Truth Social with the caption “restraining order needed”. Meloni recently accused him of fabricating a story after he told an Italian TV channel she had begged him to take a photo with her at a G7 summit in France. Meloni was once a vocal supporter of Trump, but criticised him this year for lashing out at Pope Leo over his ⁠condemnation of the Iranian conflict.
