Trump criticizes Italian Prime Minister Meloni, saying he is 'shocked'

President Donald Trump publicly criticized Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a political ally. Trump said he was 'shocked' by her and claimed she 'doesn't want to help us in the war,' suggesting he felt she had changed and lacked courage.

This criticism comes amid broader tensions involving Trump's recent comments about the Pope and NATO. The remarks mark a public break with Meloni, who has been considered one of his closest allies in the European Union.
