U.S. President Donald Trump met with Italian Prime Minister Meloni at the White House. After their bilateral meeting in the Oval Office, Trump faced some challenging moments while answering questions from the press. The U.S. leader tried to sidestep Meloni's question, "Have you ever said that Europeans are parasites?"
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House as part of an official visit.
After the bilateral meeting held in the Oval Office, the two leaders answered questions from White House reporters and Italian journalists during a closed-door lunch in the cabinet room.
THE QUESTION THAT MADE TRUMP SWEAT
What happened after an Italian journalist's question at the joint press conference drew attention. When the journalist asked Trump whether he referred to Europeans as "parasites," Meloni turned to Trump and asked, "Have you ever said that Europeans are parasites? Have you ever said that?"
"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT"
Shocked by the unexpected question, Trump tried to brush it off, responding, "I never said that. I don't even know what you're talking about."
"THEY ARE PARASITES"
U.S. President Donald Trump, supporting messages in which Vice President JD Vance insulted Europeans, stated, "I agree with him, they are parasites, they have been for years."
