Summary
President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s public feud has escalated ahead of the NATO summit in Turkey. Trump posted a photo of Meloni on Truth Social with the caption “RESTRAINING ORDER NEEDED.” The two leaders have had a rift since June when Trump said Meloni “begged” him for a photo at the G7, which Meloni denied. The Italian Foreign Minister said Trump’s statements “speak for themselves” and that transatlantic relations go beyond individual statements. The feud may continue at the NATO summit, where Trump and Meloni may interact at various events.
