Donald Trump He has already proven how cruel he can be with his rivals. When he has the chance, he attacks. And humiliates. However, after a first phase of his mandate in which the two seemed to live an idyllits latest victim was, this Friday, the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni.
Recalling his meeting with her on the sidelines of the Evian G7, the magnate and president of the United States has done it again, this time by phone, in a conversation with an Italian television program, ‘L’Aria’ on La7. “She’s probably glad I talked to her.I was not obliged to do it,” he said first. And he continued, without anyone asking him: “He begged me to take a photo. together. “I loved it so much that I couldn’t have done it, but I felt sorry for it.”
The statements come after a week in which the Italian Government had spent half the legislature trying to sell that Trump and Meloni had made peace, after the tensions two months ago over the war against Iran (which Meloni opposed to the point of denying Washington the use of bases on Italian soil to attack the Persian country).
“They abandoned me”
The tension, however, was what really underlay it, as could also be seen in one of the few videos of the G7. In this, the president of the European Council, Antonio Costahe joked when he saw them together. “You are friends again“, says Costa.
“We always have been,” he replied. Melons with a smile. Trump did not remain silent. Then he said: “they abandoned me“No, not you,” she replied, still smiling.
He distancing between Melons y Trump comes from afar. So much so that in April, Trump even told the ‘Corriere della Sera’ that Melons had “surprised” him, and not in a good way. “I thought I had courage, but I was wrong,” he concluded then. The reason: Meloni’s criticism of the war in Iran and also for Trump’s statements against the Pope, which the leader came to describe as “unacceptable.”
