Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has accused President Donald Trump of spreading lies about her, escalating their ongoing public feud. The accusation follows Trump's claim that Meloni 'begged' him for a photo at the G7 summit. This comes after Italy canceled Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani's scheduled visit to Washington D.C. in response to Trump's remarks. The dispute has strained diplomatic relations between the two countries.
