Top Italian diplomat cancels U.S. trip after prime minister slams Trump's claim about G7 photo

Italy's top diplomat canceled a trip to the U.S. after Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni slammed President Trump's claims that she begged for a photo at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains. The dispute began after Trump told broadcaster La7 that Meloni had pleaded for the image. In response, the Italian government closed ranks to reject these assertions, leading to the immediate cancellation of the diplomatic visit to the United States following the public disagreement.
