Trump Reignites Tensions With Meloni Ahead of NATO Summit


He went on to criticize Meloni in a Truth Social post, saying, “She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon.”

“She wouldn’t even let us use Italy’s landing strips or runways, a great logistical inconvenience, and this despite the fact the U.S. contributes hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year to protect Italy, and other ‘so-called’ NATO Allies,” he continued. “Now, after the United States defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to get her ‘numbers up.’ No thanks!!!”

Recent polling indicates that most Italians harbor negative feelings toward Trump and are concerned about the U.S.-Israel war in Iran.

Meloni fired back at Trump in a video she shared on X in June, saying that Trump’s comments “are completely fabricated” and that she was “stunned” by his behavior.
