From friends, they turned into enemies - Giorgia Meloni confesses to clashes

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated in an interview with the New York Times that she had thought relations with US President Donald Trump would be easier, due to shared positions on immigration and "woke" culture, but things then took a different direction.

"It's clear that with Donald Trump I thought things would be easier, given our convergences. But things went differently," Meloni said.

Meloni, who is the only EU leader invited to Trump's inauguration, has recently been involved in a clash with the US president over Italy's stance on the war in Iran.

Italy denied Washington permission for its bombers to use Sigonella air base in Sicily during the Iran war in March.

Trump said Italy "did very badly" with its decisions on the use of its bases.

Rome's refusal to get involved in the Iran war led to tension between Trump and Meloni, who had previously enjoyed a friendly relationship.

Trump sparked a row by saying Meloni "begged" to take a photo with him at the G7 summit last month.

She responded that the story was fabricated and criticized Trump for treating his allies poorly while being soft on the West's opponents.

When Trump followed up the criticism with another attack, saying that Meloni only wanted to mend relations with him to boost her domestic ratings, the prime minister responded by calling his attacks "nonsense."

According to her, her relationship with the American president had not helped her in the rankings and that her popularity was not his doing.

In the interview, she did not comment on Trump's latest post, where he published a photo of Meloni looking at him with admiration and wrote:

"A protective order is needed!" The post accompanies a meme showing Meloni looking admiringly at the head of the White House.

Despite the clashes, Trump has recently stated that he likes Meloni and considers him a "good person", but has repeated criticism of Italy's stance during the war in Iran.

For her part, Meloni has stated that she aims to preserve the unity of the West, despite tensions with the American president.
