The growing feud between Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is casting a shadow over the NATO Summit in Ankara. Trump's controversial 'restraining order needed' post, NATO defence spending demands, Ukraine aid package, Iran conflict fallout, and transatlantic tensions are dominating headlines. Meloni's sharp response, Trump's criticism of NATO allies, and questions over Europe's security commitments have intensified the political drama. As world leaders gather for a high-stakes NATO meeting, all eyes are on a potentially awkward Trump-Meloni face-off that could shape alliance unity, defence policy, and global security. Cary Johnston brings you the details on Firstpost America.
