Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has strongly rejected US President Donald Trump's claim that she 'begged' him for a photograph during the recent G7 summit. Trump made the remarks during an interview, saying Meloni was eager for a photo opportunity with him. Meloni quickly pushed back, calling the account 'completely made up' and insisting that neither she nor Italy would ever beg for such a gesture. The comments have sparked political controversy in Italy, with leaders across the political spectrum rallying behind the prime minister. The public exchange has also raised questions about the current state of relations between Trump and one of his closest European allies. The dispute is now drawing attention far beyond the G7 summit itself. Hem Kaur Saroya tells you more on Vantage.
