Italian Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani announced he had canceled his planned visit to the United States, citing remarks made by U.S. President Trump regarding Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Trump told Italy’s La7 television that Meloni “begged” him for a photo during the recent G7 summit in France, and he agreed out of sympathy. Meloni herself stated on June 19 that she was deeply shocked by Trump’s comments, calling them baseless fabrications.
Tajani posted on social media platform X: "President Trump’s disgraceful and insulting remarks about Prime Minister Meloni insult the entire nation of Italy. Therefore, I have decided to cancel my scheduled visit to the United States from June 21 to 22."
