This is absolute cinema by Italian PM Meloni 🔥
🇺🇸 Trump at 1:00 PM: "She begged me to take a photo with her. She wanted a photo with me so much."
🇮🇹 Meloni at 1:05 PM🔥: "Get lost Lier, your claims are made up. I’m appalled. And it’s not the first time you treat your allies like this
How Shameless is this that you won’t get that tough with America’s enemies."
He needs to remember: Italy and I don’t beg 🔥🔥👏
Iron lady of EUROPE 🔥
🚨 TRUMP SPARKS DIPLOMATIC CRISIS WITH ITALY: Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has canceled his planned June 21–22 trip to Washington after President Trump insulted Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, claiming she “begged” for a photo with him at the G7 and that he “felt sorry for her.”
Meloni released a video firing back at Trump’s comments, calling them “completely fabricated.”
“I am frankly appalled,” she said. “I don’t know why the President of the United States behaves this way towards his allies.”
She added that Trump appears to show more accommodation toward “the enemies of the West” than America’s allies and concluded by saying: “Italy and I never beg.”
Trump: "The congressional medal of honor -- I wanted to give it to myself, but I was informed I couldn't do it."
(note the audible discomfort of his audience)

JD Vance comes out in support of Iran's right of self-defense and right to have ballistic missiles: "Israel doesn't give up the right of self-defense if Hezbollah fires rockets or drones at Israel. The Iranians don't give up the right of self-defense in their country."
Looks like MAID for the mentally ill will "not" be given the green light by the Canadian government. Thinking today of Canadian actress Claire Brosseau's struggle with her mental health & emergency application for MAID.

BREAKING: US officials have now confirmed in a briefing that Iran will get full access to a total of $100 billion in frozen funds and the $300 billion reconstruction fund, both included in the deal with implementation now underway, per WSJ.
More than $150 billion of the fund has already been committed, directly contradicting Trump's claims that the US would not contribute to the $300 billion fund, per Reuters.
