Trump blasts Meloni again as feud intensifies

The feud between US President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is intensifying. ​It began when Mr Trump revealed he took pictures with Ms Meloni at the G7 only after she "begged" for a photo. ​Italy's prime minister has denied the claims, instead telling Trump to focus on his own popularity. ​In a post to Truth Social, Mr Trump said: ​“After spending trillions of dollars on NATO, Italy, and its prime minister, wouldn’t even think of becoming involved with the Islamic Republic of Iran and their very serious nuclear threat. For decades, we defend them but, when tested, they are not there to defend us, and the rest of the world. Not good!”

Italian Newspaper Headline Tells It Like It Is About Trump

Just like his stupid attack on Iran, President Dealmaker just blew up his relationship with one of his closest European allies for no good reason. As we’ve previously reported, Donald Trump insulted Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni by claiming she had “begged” him to take a picture of them together at the G7 summit. He said he had only done so because he had “felt sorry” for her. The backlash was swift and fierce. Italian foreign minister Antonio Tajani canceled a planned visit to the U.S. this weekend. Meloni posted a scathing video on social media Friday, headlined, “Italy and I never beg. She also said, “I don't know why the president of the United States behaves this way with his own allies. I can only say it's a shame he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, with leaders with whom instead he proves to be much more accommodating.” Italy’s right-wing daily paper, Libero answered Meloni’s question about why Trump shivs his allies.

Anastasia Barashkova / REUTERSRussian dictator Vladimir Putin has hatched a plan to “provoke” NATO by launching attacks and possibly even an incursion against alliance member Poland.The Telegraph writes that Washington has sent warnings to Warsaw over new intelligence suggesting the country’s critical infrastructure could become the target of missile and drone strikes by the Kremlin. Moscow might also order ground troops in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad into Poland from the north, the newspaper writes. Officials close to Polish President Karol Nawrocki confirmed to Onet, a national news outlet and part of the same corporate network as The Telegraph, that his office had received those reports. They said that Washington “systematically informs Poland about ever-new Russian plans for a conventional attack on NATO’s eastern flank, from which Poland is by no means excluded.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
