๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ธ Italy's Meloni responds to Trump:
"President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless.
As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you.
My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italyโs national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done.
[The] use [of American bases in Italy] is governed by agreements that we have always respected, and that cannot be violated as long as I am Prime Minister.
Italy remains a sovereign nation.
In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours."

Check this. This interview by this journalist at Axios started with Trump praising PM Modi twice (before this segment below.) So this guy immediately inserts "Obviously, one great leader is Xi" because he knows Trump won't deny it.
When I tell you the world media, including the American and Indian media, have many, many assets and suckers of China, believe me. The interviewer still got sad Trump again said "Modi is a great leader." Probably he wanted to hear about GLISCO-DS Erdogan or Zelensky as great leaders.

Journalist: If I ask you who are your two greatest leaders in the world, who would they be? I assume one is Xi. Who is the other?
Trump: Modi is very good. India has had some very good numbers. Modi stays out of wars which is smart. India is the biggest
Australia has won multiple cricket World Cups, but we have never seen, even half of this crowd celebrating like this before. Unfortunately, cricket will never reach the same/half level as football, cuz we are limited to just 10 countries.
