Come rispondere all’incontenibile Trump?

Giorgia Meloni "was probably happy that I spoke to her" at the G7, "I wasn't obligated to speak to her, but she begged me to take a picture with her. I felt sorry for her." US President Donald Trump's comments, released in an interview with L'Aria che tira on La7, immediately sparked an uproar. Contrary to the White House president's latest outbursts against the prime minister and Italy, Palazzo Chigi responded immediately. First, with Undersecretary to the Prime Minister's Office, Giovanbattista Fazzolari: "Trump's rants about Giorgia Meloni," he observed, "are just the latest episode of attacks and insults aimed at European leaders. It's unclear whether, through deliberate intent or incompetence, he is ruining the historic relations between the United States and Europe. With his inappropriate comments, he has succeeded in the difficult task of making the United States unpopular throughout Europe, damaging not only Europe but, above all, the United States." "Certain things deserve an immediate response. Donald Trump's statements are completely fabricated. I'm frankly astonished," Giorgia Meloni declared. And she continued: "I don't know why the president of the United States behaves this way toward his own allies. It's not the first time it's happened. I can only say that it's unfortunate that he doesn't have the same determination toward the enemies of the West, toward the enemies of the United States, toward leaders with whom he appears much more accommodating." And here's the closing: "But you must remember one thing: Italy and I never beg." But beyond words, how could Rome respond to yet another affront from the Cassa Bianca?
