Trump shocked by Meloni's Iran stance

President Donald Trump has escalated his public feud with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, directly criticizing her stance on the conflict with Iran. In a telephone interview with Italy's Corriere della Sera, Trump expressed shock and disappointment, stating, "She doesn't want to help us in the war with Iran. I thought she had courage, but I was wrong." This marks a further deterioration in US-Italy relations, with Trump publicly questioning the loyalty of a key European ally. The comments come as the US continues to enforce a naval blockade against Iran and seeks broader international support for its actions.
