The fallout from Trump's comments is likely to be significant within Italian domestic politics. Meloni has built a significant part of her political identity on her ability to manage Italy's relationship with Washington and project strength on the international stage. A public dressing-down from the man she has often cited as an inspiration and a key partner could be...
