A video showing Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s reaction while Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised U.S. President Donald Trump has gone viral on social media.

In the clip from the Sharm el-Sheikh Summit on Gaza, Sharif delivers a glowing tribute to Trump, nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, Meloni’s expression — a mix of surprise and disbelief — has caught the internet’s attention.

Users on X (formerly Twitter) flooded the platform with reactions. “What on earth am I witnessing? Someone please get me out of here,” one user wrote. Another joked that Meloni and U.K. PM Keir Starmer were “trying not to laugh” as Sharif delivered his over-the-top praise.

Taking the podium, Sharif hailed Trump as “a man of peace,” saying, “This is one of the greatest days in contemporary history because peace has been achieved through the untiring efforts of President Trump.”


He added that Pakistan had nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary contributions” in stopping wars between India and Pakistan and helping achieve a ceasefire in Gaza. “He has saved millions of lives,” Sharif said, calling Trump “the most genuine and wonderful candidate for the peace prize.”

Trump, visibly amused, responded with humor: “Wow! I didn’t expect that. Let’s go home — there’s nothing more I have to say. That was really beautiful and beautifully delivered. Thank you very much.”
