Meloni has not responded publicly to the post, but Italian officials, including the Defense Minister and foreign Minister, emphasized that relations should remain strong despite individual remarks. Historically close allies, the two leaders have faced tensions over Trump&#8217;s criticisms of Meloni&#8217;s support for U.S. policies, her refusal to back a military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and disagreements over Trump\u2019s comments about her during international meetings.Trump also claimed Meloni \u201cbegged\u201d him for a photo during the G7 summit, which she denied, condemning his behaviour towards allies. Additionally, Meloni has refused U.S. requests to use Sicilian airbases for Middle East operations, further straining the relationship.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A feud between President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/italy\/\">Italian<\/a> Prime Minister <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/giorgia-meloni\/\">Giorgia Meloni<\/a> reignited after Trump posted a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/truth-social\/\">Truth Social<\/a> post mocking the Italian leader on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200bThe<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116869343915433662\"> post<\/a> features an image of Meloni staring adoringly at Trump, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >caption \u201crestraining order needed<\/a>.\u201d Meloni has yet to issue a response to the post, which comes on the eve of a NATO summit scheduled for Monday and Tuesday that both leaders plan to attend. <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4637021\/china-frees-pastor-ezra-jin-mingri-after-xi-meeting-trump\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>China frees pastor Ezra Jin Mingri after Xi meeting with Trump<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4636906\/hungary-magyar-operation-purgatory-purges-oust-president\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Hungary\u2019s Magyar continues \u2018Operation Purgatory\u2019 purges with proposed amendment to oust president<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4636820\/uk-fighter-jets-escort-russian-aircraft-carrier-strike-group\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>UK fighter jets escort Russian aircraft away from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bombshell-ufo-report-u-s-military-encounters-ufos-every-day-that-far-exceed-its-tech-capabilities\/\" title=\"Bombshell UFO Report: U.S. Military Encounters UFOs \u2018Every Day\u2019 That Far Exceed Its Tech, Capabilities\">carrier strike group<\/a>: \u2018Unsafe and unprofessional\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto did respond, however, telling news channel SKY TG24, \u201cpeople come and go, but relations must endure,\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/07\/06\/trump-attacks-meloni-before-nato-summit-in-ankara-needs-a-restraining-order\">reported Euro News.<\/a> The country\u2019s foreign minister also responded, and said \u201che was sure transatlantic relations go well beyond individual comments.\u201d  <\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200bThe increasingly strained tensions between the two countries contrast with a previously close political friendship.
