Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has reacted with shock to President Donald Trump's claim that she 'begged' for a joint photo at the G7 summit. Meloni stated she was 'stunned' by the comment, which has further inflamed the ongoing public feud between the two leaders. The dispute began after Trump made the remark in an Italian TV interview, which Meloni has repeatedly denied and called fabricated. The incident has led to diplomatic fallout, including the cancellation of Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani's scheduled visit to Washington.
