From The Guardian:

Responding in a video post on Instagram with the caption “Italy and I never beg”, Meloni said “some things deserve an immediate response”.

“Donald Trump’s declarations are totally invented,” she added. “Frankly, I am stunned. I don’t know why the US president behaves this way towards his allies. It’s not the first time it’s happened, I can only say it’s unfortunate he doesn’t show the same determination towards the west’s enemies.”
