Full solidarity with the prime minister,&#8221; wrote Azione leader Carlo Calenda on X.The clash between Washington and Rome: &#8220;She begged me to take a photo&#8221;The statement deepens the rift between the US president and the Italian prime minister, marking a further cooling of relations between the two countries.Differences began to surface in spring 2026, over issues relating to the management of the crises in the Middle East and Iran, Trump\u2019s criticism of Pope Leo XIV and Italy\u2019s increasing distance from some of the US administration\u2019s requests within NATO.The breaking point came on 19 June, when Donald Trump said in an interview that Meloni had &#8220;begged him to take a photo together&#8221; during the G7 and that he had agreed only &#8220;out of pity&#8221;.The Italian prime minister responded by describing the claims as &#8220;totally invented&#8221; and reiterating that &#8220;neither I nor Italy beg&#8221;.Trump\u2019s words sparked a strong reaction in Italy and immediate diplomatic consequences, including the cancellation of a visit to the United States by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani.Trump versus NATO, a &#8220;one-way relationship&#8221;In recent days Trump has launched a stinging attack on the Atlantic Alliance as a whole.US President Donald Trump said on Thursday 2 July that it is &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; for the United States to continue its &#8220;one-way&#8221; relationship with NATO.Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: &#8220;They have not stood by us!!!&#8221; and that Washington\u2019s relationship with NATO &#8220;is not reciprocal&#8221;.To support his argument, Trump showed a chart with the total of military spending from 2014 to today. According to the figures given by the US president, the United States contribution would amount to &#8221;999 billion dollars&#8221;, while &#8221;United Kingdom 90.5 billion, France 66.5 billion, Italy 48.8 billion and Poland 44.3 billion&#8221;.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/07\/06\/trump-attacks-meloni-before-nato-summit-in-ankara-needs-a-restraining-order&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/74\/69\/37\/1200x675_cmsv2_439839f6-f993-57b9-8848-c0186553b606-9746937.jpg&#8221;] Europe Today Ukraine&#8217;s ambassador on enlargement: focus on substance, not titles No Comment Mexico fans left heartbroken as World Cup dream comes to an end Fiji Australia and Fiji seal defence pact in push to counter China Culture news &#8216;The Trump Card&#8217;: Viral reactions to FIFA\u2019s US red card reversal Europe Today [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2028744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2028744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2028744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2028744\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2028744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2028744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2028744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
