Trump criticizes Italy's leader, Iran mocks the dispute

Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized Italy's Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, saying she lacks 'courage' and that their relationship is not the same. He specifically accused her of not supporting a potential war with Iran.

In response, Meloni defended her stance, stating she has been clearer than other leaders and that Italy is an ally, not a vassal. She chose not to reply further. Meanwhile, Iran's government mocked the situation, sarcastically suggesting it would like to apply to be Italy's new ally.
