Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has canceled his scheduled trip to Washington, D.C., escalating a diplomatic rift with the United States. The move follows President Donald Trump's claim that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni 'begged' for a joint photo at the G7 summit, which Meloni has called a 'lie.' The cancellation marks a sharp deterioration in US-Italy relations, with Italy expressing outrage over Trump's remarks.
