🚨 NEW: Giorgia Meloni hits back after Donald Trump makes explosive remarks about Iran and nuclear war.
🇺🇸 Trump: “She’s the unacceptable one; she doesn’t care if Iran gets a nuclear weapon and blows Italy to bits in two minutes.”
🇮🇹 Meloni: “As far as I know, nine nations possess nuclear weapons, and only one has ever used them. That nation is the United States.”
“Mr. Trump needs to tone it down. No one throws around nuclear threats like Washington does, and he should watch his words.”
A European leader directly calling out Trump like this - in these terms - is rare.
The blockade is live.
Iranian and Chinese tankers are moving through anyway.
China said it clearly before the blockade started — their ships would not be stopped.
They have energy agreements with Iran. They will be respected.
Apparently they meant it.
"A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons... a war might be started... by little men, the ones moved by fear and pride."
Hillary was right about everything.
DEAR MR. TRUMP,
THANK YOU FOR SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION TO THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE COMMITTEE. WHILE WE REVIEW YOUR "LIVING IN HELL" STATEMENT OF LOVE AND PEACE, WE SUGGEST YOU APPLY TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURT AT THE HAGUE. YOU ARE EXACTLY WHO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
Rubio: Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military
Trump, two days later: We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military
🚨A reporter asked Macron about Trump’s personal attacks against him.
Macron’s response:
“We are talking about war. Civilians dying. Economies suffering. What I heard is neither serious nor worthy of response. A world leader cannot use the language he is speaking.”
Neither serious nor worthy of response.
The President of France just dismissed the President of the United States in one sentence.
France closed its airspace.
France officially refused to send warships.
France welcomed the doctors America expelled from the Caribbean.
Macron said “nobody can force us.”
Now Macron is telling the world Trump’s language is beneath the gravity of the moment.
