Donald Trump posted a doctored image targeting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Truth Social, carrying the caption "restraining order needed," according to France 24. The image draws on genuine footage from the G7 summit but has been altered to make Meloni appear infatuated with Trump.
The post came on the eve of a significant NATO summit, according to France 24, at a moment when diplomatic relationships among allied leaders are under close scrutiny.
France 24 reports that the latest provocation follows weeks of sharp public exchanges between the two leaders. The dispute flared after Trump claimed Meloni had "begged" him for a photograph — an account she has not accepted. The new post appears to extend rather than resolve that clash.
All details in this report come from a single source. The timing and full context of the feud, including any response from Meloni or the Italian government, had not been confirmed as of writing.
