Trump-Meloni Feud Deepens as Italy Cancels U.S. Visit
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has accused Donald Trump of fabricating claims that she “begged” him for a photograph at the G7 summit.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has accused Donald Trump of fabricating claims that she “begged” him for a photograph at the G7 summit.

Unlike some G7 leaders, Italy’s PM is not in favour of regulating ‘underage’ access to Facebook and its competitors—mostly for practical reasons.

The U.S. president backed increased pressure on Russia, confirmed that Israel received a copy of the Iran agreement, and said he expects a peace deal with Iran to be signed later this week.

German, French, and British leaders loved playing diplomatic big shots with Kyiv while Washington was preoccupied with Iran, but their grandstanding made little difference.

Marchers throw bricks at police and trash symbolic targets.

The French president is to host the G-7 and China online—but will anyone listen?

“There can be no justification for the deliberate targeting of civilians in situations of armed conflict,” the joint statement said.

The trip follows Donald Trump’s declaration that Washington has been in contact with Tehran and his pausing attacks against Iran’s energy infrastructure.

The French president also said there is “no confirmation” of mines being deployed in the Strait of Hormuz.

Loud cheers are reported to have echoed across parts of Tehran as residents celebrated news of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death.
