Trump tears into Meloni over G7 picture row

Donald Trump has berated Giorgia Meloni and reiterated claims that the Italian prime minister begged “over and over” for a picture with him during their G7 meeting. In an escalating row, the US president accused his former close ally of seeking political gain from being seen together because she was “doing poorly” in the polls, before raging over Italy’s refusal to assist the US in its war against Iran.
