'Not Good': Trump Slams NATO, Italian PM For Not Being Involved To Eliminate Iran's 'Nuclear Threat'
Trump said allies have spent trillions on defense but still refused to join efforts against Iran’s nuclear threat, escalating tensions with Meloni.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump attacked Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Truth Social, accusing Italy of abandoning the United States by refusing to support operations against Iran's "very serious Nuclear Threat."
- Tensions center on Italy's refusal to open the Sigonella base in Sicily for offensive operations without parliamentary approval, a decision that constrained American military planning during the conflict.
- Trump further alleged Meloni is "doing poorly in Italy" and claimed she "begged" for a photo-op during the 52nd G7 Summit; Meloni dismissed these accusations as fabricated.
- In an Instagram statement, Meloni rejected the "constant, unprovoked attacks," asserting her popularity depends on defending Italy's national interest rather than her relationship with the American President.
- Domestic polling from June 21 shows Meloni's Brothers of Italy party leads with 28.1% support, contradicting the President's assertion that her political standing has eroded during the diplomatic row.
