Cancels visit because of Trump's comments

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has canceled an upcoming state visit to the United States due to comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. According to Italian media outlet LA7, Trump mentioned during a G7 summit in France that Meloni had asked for a photo with him but only fell for such a photo because she had 'vorkennt' (a term implying she was flattered or impressed). Meloni expressed surprise at Trump's remarks.

Antonio Tajani, utanríkisráðherra Ítalíu, hefur aflýst opinberri heimsókn sinni til Bandaríkjanna vegna ummæla Donalds Trumps Bandaríkjaforseta þar sem hann virtist hæðast að Giorgiu Meloni, forsætisráðherra Ítalíu.

„Alvarleg og móðgandi orð Trumps forseta [...] eru móðgun við alla Ítalíu,“ sagði Tajani á samfélagmiðlinum X.

Utanríkisráðherrann átti að heimsækja Bandaríkin í næstu viku en þeirri heimsókn hefur nú verið aflýst.

Vorkenndi Meloni og féllst á myndatöku

Ummælin sem um ræðir lét Trump ekki falla opinberlega heldur á leiðtogafundi G7-ríkjanna í Frakklandi í vikunni.

Samkvæmt ítölsku sjónvarpsstöðinni LA7 sagði Trump að Meloni hefði grátbeðið um mynd með sér en hann hefði aðeins fallist á slíka myndatöku vegna þess að hann hefði vorkennt henni.

Í viðtali við sjónvarpsstöðina sagðist Meloni vera undrandi á ummælum Bandaríkjaforseta.
