Conflict between Trump and Meloni

19. June 2026, 15:00

Donald Trump leads the USA. He spoke badly about Giorgia Meloni. Meloni is the Minister-President of Italy. Trump gave an interview on TV. He said: Meloni begged me for a photo. He only took the photo out of pity.

Giorgia Meloni says: That is not true. Trump made up these words. She says: Italy never begs. Meloni is surprised by the conflict. They got along well before. But they often have arguments.

The Pope is one reason for the conflict. Trump criticized the Pope. Meloni defended the Pope. They also disagree about foreign politics. For example, they disagree about the state Iran. Italy did not want to help the USA there.

The Foreign-Minister of Italy is named Antonio Tajani. He finds the words of Trump insulting. Therefore he cancelled a trip to the USA. He says: Trump insults all of Italy. At the G7-summit in France they seemed peaceful. Now there is big trouble again.
