Donald Trump triggered fresh diplomatic drama today after marching straight past Giorgia Meloni without offering a greeting, or even a glance her way.
The President and Italy’s prime minister gave each other the ultimate brush-off as leaders gathered for the traditional NATO family photo in Ankara, Turkey.
Once inseparable political soulmates, a defiant Meloni was caught on camera staring firmly at the ground, masking the awkward moment with a bright, fixed smile.
Chilly!

Starmer & Carney as far away from Trump as possible, they seem almost disconnected from the group.
And why is Zelensky there? Ukraine is not a part of NATO. pic.twitter.com/tbYdRSCNtz— Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 (@ryangerritsen) July 8, 2026
