Trump criticizes Italian Prime Minister Meloni, saying he is shocked

President Donald Trump publicly criticized Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a political ally. Trump said he was 'shocked' by her and that she lacked 'courage,' specifically suggesting she did not want to help 'in the war,' which headlines link to tensions over Iran and NATO.

Trump's comments mark a sharp turn against Meloni, whom he previously praised. The criticism comes amid reported tensions following Trump's recent attack on the Pope and broader disagreements over European security policy.
