'I like her, but…': Trump calls Italy's Meloni a 'nice person' amid spat over Iran war

U.S. President Donald ​Trump on Tuesday called Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni a "nice person" but criticised her for failing to ‌help in the conflict with Iran, his latest remarks in a diplomatic dispute that is straining bilateral ties. Meloni was once seen as a close ally of Trump, but the relationship faltered last month when he told Italian TV channel La7 that she had "begged" him to take a photo with ​her at a G7 summit in France. She denied the claim and accused him of fabricating the story.
