In a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump repeats his claim that Italy's Giorgia Meloni begged to be photographed with him at the G7 summit in France earlier this week.
In the post, he expands his attack on the Italian leader, saying that “she couldn’t even let us use some of Italy’s runways” in response to the US attack on Iran. He accuses Meloni of wanting to show off a renewed friendship with him. “No thanks!!!” Trump writes.
Meloni has denied the claim about the photo, saying that neither she nor Italy “ever begs.” Italy’s foreign minister canceled a planned visit to the United States over the dispute.
