Italy's Meloni slams ‘senseless' attacks from Trump

Progressive outlets emphasize Trump escalating the feud and focus on Meloni's denial, framing her as correcting a false narrative that Trump invented.

Moderate outlets present both leaders' claims and counter-claims with roughly equal weight, highlight the unusual tension between two right-wing allies, and note Trump's broader geopolitical explanations regarding Iran and NATO.

Conservative outlets emphasize Trump's rebuttal that Meloni repeatedly asked for the photo and sometimes suggest Meloni's denial stems from domestic political considerations rather than the factual accuracy of events.
