The US ambassador: “Trump criticizes Meloni because he respects her”

And today the President expressed his opinion on the relationship between Trump and MeloniAmerican ambassador to Italy, Tilman Fertitta: “We need to understand one thing: Donald Trump is unhappy with NATO at this moment. And one of the reasons why he had harsh words towards Giorgia Meloni is that, and all Italians should be proud of this, the United States considers her a world leader, not simply the Italian Prime Minister. In a certain sense it is a compliment that Donald Trump criticizes it, because it means that the respect enough as a leader to expect more from her and to ask her to do more”, said Fertitta, meeting the press in Bari aboard his yacht Boardwalk.

“You don’t see him attacking others. He criticizes the prime minister of the United Kingdom, he criticizes France, he criticizes Italy. So take it as a compliment for your Prime Minister: it means that he considers her a world leader and that is why he tells her what he expects from her”, he added, also saying that “Donald Trump also says certain things to achieve an effect. E you fall for it completelye. A restraining order? Come on, let’s be serious. Donald Trump is having fun. He is a very charismatic person. I had dinner with Meloni and Donald Trump: they like each other, they have an excellent relationship.” “At the moment – he said – he is a bit annoyed with NATO and therefore criticizes NATO leaders. Once again, you should be happy to have a leader so respected by the United States. If he didn’t respect her, he wouldn’t waste time with her”.
