Trump turns on Meloni, saying she lacks courage' over US-Israel war on Iran
"I'm shocked at her. I thought she had courage, but I was wrong. She's unacceptable because she doesn't mind that Iran has a nuclear weapon and would blow up Italy in two minutes if they had the chance."
"She doesn't help us with NATO. She doesn't want to help get rid of a nuclear-weaponed Iran. Very sad. She's much different than I thought."
"We are and remain staunch supporters of Western unity and steadfast allies of the United States, but this unity is built on mutual loyalty, respect, and honesty."
President Trump criticized Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for her refusal to support military action against Iran, expressing shock at her lack of courage. He stated that Meloni's position on NATO and her unwillingness to confront Iran's nuclear threat were disappointing. Trump described NATO as ineffective and lamented Europe's reluctance to engage in conflicts affecting energy security. Meloni's allies defended her, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and loyalty in US-European relations, while acknowledging her straightforwardness in expressing her views.
