Italian Prime Minister Gigiorgia Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France.

She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon (But so did NATO, for that matter!).

She wouldn’t even let us use Italy’s landing strips or runways, a great logistical inconvenience, and this despite the fact the U.S. contributes hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year to protect Italy, and other “so-called” NATO Allies.

Now, after the United States defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to get her “numbers up.” No thanks!!!

Trump holds the cards in Netanyahu’s shaky reelection chances.

The HQ described the move as a “first step,” warning that further actions could follow if the situation continues.
