Giorgia Meloni: “A vile, cowardly, unacceptable act.”

Italy and I never beg,” Meloni said in a post on Instagram. “Some things warrant an immediate response. Trump’s remarks are fully made up. I am frankly astounded. I don’t know why the president of the US behaves like this with allies.

These constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless.

My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done.

In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.
