Trump attacks Italia again: 'She wasn't there for us, we won't be there for her'

New attack by Donald Trump on Italia. In a post on the social Truth , the American president wrote: 'Italia wasn't there for us, we won't be there for her'. So that there may be no doubt as to the reasons why he accuses our country, Trump attaches an article from the Guardian in recent days that reported the news of Rome's no to the use of the Sigonella base for American planes engaged in the war in Iran.

Already in recent days, the US president had criticised Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for her support of the Pope, questioning the relationship between Washington and Rome.

"Donald Trump is not crazy, as some newspapers and the left say, he has his own clear strategy which is the American interest and often, and unfortunately, in these last months it does not coincide with Italia's interest," commented Matteo Salvini, deputy prime minister and leader of the League, interviewed on TV on Channel 5. 'To this we add a deaf and absent Europe that prevents me from helping Italians in difficulty because of the constraints of the Stability Pact, because of the Green Deal,' he added. 'Relations with America and the western democracies are and will remain good, beyond some temporary problems. It is clear that when someone, however powerful, attacks the Pope repeatedly and puts himself on social media as Jesus Christ, it is a complicated moment,' the Transport Minister continued.

The social skirmish - in the context of attacks between Israel, the US and Iran - continues on the day when a ten-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel comes into effect. In Beirut, at the stroke of midnight, celebratory gunfire rang out in the southern suburbs of the city. Until the last moment, the conflict was intense: the last attack claimed by Hezbollah against Israeli troops - Al Jazeera reports - came at ten minutes before midnight, and Israel continued to launch air raids until one or two minutes before the ceasefire took effect. The ceasefire declared a primary condition by Tehran seems to pave the way for more decisive talks between the US and Iran. US President Donald Trump said he was optimistic about a possible agreement: 'I think we are very close to making a deal with Iran,' he told reporters outside the White House, adding yesterday evening that the war 'should end fairly soon'.

However, the truce remains fragile and already contested. Hezbollah appears to have ceased fire, but the Lebanese army has confirmed Israeli violations, with artillery strikes targeting several villages in the south. Whether this is a technical violation of the ceasefire remains to be clarified: the US State Department has pointed out that the agreement allows Israel to strike Hezbollah at its own discretion - an interpretation that is not shared in Lebanon, including by the Lebanese army.
