Morning coverage focused on President Trump's escalating criticism of Prime Minister Meloni, with multiple outlets reporting his public attacks following her defense of Pope Leo XIV and refusal to assist in the Iran conflict. By early afternoon, Trump explicitly stated their relationship had changed, while Meloni met with Ukrainian President Zelensky to reaffirm Italy's support for Kyiv. Evening reporting detailed Trump's continued criticism of Meloni for dividing the West, alongside reports of a potential US-Iran ceasefire agreement in principle and the Niscemi landslide investigation involving high-profile political figures.
