The spat between Donald Trump and Giorgia Meloni escalated dramatically Friday, after the U.S. president said the Italian prime minister “begged” him for a photo at the G7 summit earlier this week. During a phone call with Italian media on Thursday night, Trump said Meloni was “probably happy I spoke to her. I didn’t have to,” adding that “she wanted a picture with me so badly. I wouldn’t have taken it, but I felt sorry for her.” The remarks appeared to contradict the prime minister’s recent insistence that her relationship with the president was as good as ever. Meloni called Trump’s statement “completely made-up” in a combative video on social media, saying “Italy and I never beg.” She added that she was “stunned” by the president’s remarks, and that “even though this is not happening for the first time … it’s a pity that [Trump] does not show the same determination against the enemies of the West.” Io e l’Italia non imploriamo mai. pic.twitter.com/sTpKlqWB67— Giorgia Meloni (@GiorgiaMeloni) June 19, 2026 The two leaders met several times at the three-day G7 gathering in Evian for the first time since their public spat in April when the Italian prime minister called Trump’s attacks on Pope Leo “unacceptable,” prompting the American president to say Meloni was “no longer the same person” he once knew. An Italian diplomat described Meloni and Trump’s first tête-à-tête on the sidelines of Monday evening’s G7 dinner as a “clarification meeting.” On the margins of one of the G7 roundtables on Tuesday, European Council President António Costa joked that the two seemed to be “friends again.” Trump replied, “I’ve been abandoned,” drawing a laugh from Meloni, who said: “No, you were not.” During the G7 final press conference on Wednesday, Meloni reassured reporters that she found the relationship with Trump “unchanged.” “Donald Trump and I are two people with fairly strong personalities, who defend our national interests. There’s no need for us to clarify things when we disagree on something because in the end each of us understands the other person’s point of view,” she said. Other members of the Italian government publicly defended their prime minister. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani attacked Trump’s comments as “serious and offensive to all of Italy,” cancelling a planned visit to the U.S. scheduled for Sunday. Defense Minister Guido Crosetto wrote on X that he couldn’t imagine Meloni asking anyone for a photo, lamenting Trump’s “lack of style.”

Andy Burnham is the new Labour MP for Makerfield, heading for parliament and, likely, Number 10. But what does his momentous win here on the outskirts of Wigan tell us about his chances of masterminding a wider Labour revival as prime minister? Host Patrick Baker has been in the constituency over the past few weeks, speaking to people who live and work in this curiously normal part of the country about the prospect of a Burnham premiership. On the campaign trail, Labour MP Peter Dowd reveals what kind of reaction he has been getting on the doorstep and shares his enthusiasm for Burnham’s economic agenda. Reform voters at the Bryn Community Centre in Ashton explain why they feel Labour has abandoned them, but hint they might look again at voting Labour if Burnham can deliver for their area as prime minister. Patrick speaks to locals supporting Rupert Lowe’s hardline anti-immigration party Restore Britain, as well as those concerned that two insurgent parties on the right could provide a boost to Labour’s electoral chances. And Rob Ford, professor of politics at the University of Manchester, explains why being a popular mayor may not so easily translate into being a successful PM.
