Top Italian diplomat cancels U.S. trip after prime minister slams Trump’s claim about G7 photo

Italy’s top diplomat canceled his trip to the United States after Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticized President Trump’s claims that he “begged” her for a photo at the G7 summit. The dispute erupted after Trump told Italian broadcaster La7 that Meloni had asked him to take a photo at a meeting of leading industrialized nations in the French resort of Evian-les-Bains earlier this week.
