Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has publicly refuted claims made by US President Donald Trump that she begged him for a photograph at the G7 summit. Meloni stated the story is completely fabricated and emphasised that neither she nor Italy ever beg. The incident has sparked discussion about Trump's history of controversial comments towards women and allies, with commentators noting his pattern of denigrating remarks and the importance of calling out such behaviour rather than normalising it.
