President Donald Trump called Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni a “nice person” on Tuesday, but blamed her for not helping the U.S. during the conflict with Iran.

Speaking to reporters in Turkey, where he was attending a NATO summit, Trump said his relationship with Meloni had “became a little bad” after she refused to get involved. His comments come after he shared a meme on Truth Social showing Meloni looking up at him with the caption “RESTRAINING ORDER NEEDED,” reigniting a diplomatic dispute between the two leaders. Meloni, once seen as a close Trump ally, has recently clashed with him over Iran, Pope Leo’s comments on the war, and Trump’s claim that she had “begged” him for a photo at a G7 summit — a claim she denied.
