On June 20, the Trump-Meloni clash escalated from diplomatic rupture to personal insults. Morning headlines reported Meloni's overnight rebuttal to Trump's claim she 'implored' for a photo, with Italian media highlighting her exasperation and 'clinical' doubts about his stability. By noon, Trump doubled down, posting that Meloni wanted to be friends again to boost her declining popularity after denying US bases. Meloni shot back: 'My popularity is none of your business, focus on your own.' The exchange dominated all outlets, overshadowing other news. In the afternoon, Iran threatened to close Hormuz after Israeli raids in Lebanon killed over 80, but Netanyahu ordered a ceasefire by evening, paving the way for US-Iran talks in Switzerland. The feud's personal turn—with Trump's obsession and Meloni's sharp retort—consumed editorial attention, reflecting a total breakdown in relations.
