CNN: Italian Prime Minister Reacts to Trump’s Claim She Begs for His Photo at the G7 Summit

RUSH EXCERPT:

COOPER: “Some new diplomatic fallout from the president‘s long standing habit of claiming people begged him for something. In this case, a photograph. He told an Italian TV outlet that the prime minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, begged him for a picture with her at the G7 summit. Quoting him now, she begged me to take a photo with her. She wanted a photo with me so badly I could have skipped it, but I felt sorry for her. Complicating the matter, the Italian channel did not play his original words, dubbed over them.”
