The NATO summit has seen yet another controversy unfold, as former President Donald Trump has taken to social media to engage in a public spat with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Citing an alleged "restraining order" issued by a US court, Trump claimed that Meloni was attempting to limit his freedom of speech during the summit.
However, experts have pointed out that the US courts do not issue international restraining orders, and that Trump's claim is likely unfounded.
The incident marks the latest in a series of public disagreements between Trump and Meloni, who have been known to clash on various issues in the past.
As the summit continues, diplomatic sources indicate that the relationship between the US and Italy remains strained, with tensions running high between the two nations.
Despite efforts to downplay the incident, the public spat between Trump and Meloni has sparked widespread concern among international observers, who are watching the situation closely for any signs of escalation.
The implications of the incident are still unclear, but one thing is certain: the NATO summit has been marked by a new low in US-Italy relations.
