Italy does not beg: Meloni blast Donald Trump over G7 photo claim

Jun 19, 2026, at 10:27 pm

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has strongly rejected US President Donald Trump's claim that she "begged" him for a photograph during the recent G7 Summit, calling his remarks "completely made up" and expressing shock at his comments. The dispute erupted after Trump, speaking to Italy's La7 television channel, claimed that Meloni had been eager to take a picture with him and that he only agreed because he "felt sorry" for her. "She's probably happy I talked to her. I didn't have to talk to her. She begged me to take a picture with her. She wanted a picture with me so badly. I wouldn't have taken it, but I felt sorry for her," Trump said. 'I and Italy never beg' Responding in a post on X, Meloni dismissed Trump's account and criticised what she described as his repeated disparaging remarks about allies. "Donald Trump's statements are completely made up, I'm frankly appalled. I don't know why the President of the United States behaves this way with his own allies; after all, it's not the first time it's happened," she said.

PM Modi’s ‘Lucky Mascot’ Jhalmuri Returns at NDA Meet Amid Bengal Focus

Jun 18, 2026, at 02:28 pm

At the NDA Chief Ministers’ meeting in New Delhi on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi struck a distinctly Bengali note by sharing and relishing jhalmuri, the iconic puffed-rice snack of Bengal, with party leaders. The gesture quickly drew attention in political circles, coming at a time when the BJP is sharpening its focus on West Bengal ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. By embracing a symbol deeply rooted in Bengal’s everyday culture, Modi appeared to blend political messaging with cultural outreach, reinforcing the BJP’s efforts to connect with Bengali identity and grassroots sentiment. The image of the Prime Minister enjoying jhalmuri soon became one of the talking points of the NDA gathering, with party supporters portraying it as a subtle nod to the BJP’s growing ambitions in the state.
