At a NATO summit, U.S. President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni do not appear to acknowledge each other during a key moment involving leaders gathering for a group photo. Multiple outlets report that Trump walks past Meloni without offering a greeting or appearing to look at her as the leaders line up for the photo. In coverage focusing on Meloni’s reaction, she is described as looking downward rather than engaging with Trump. The incident is presented as another episode in an ongoing diplomatic strain involving Italy, with one account referencing prior controversy in Italy tied to a “wild photo” claim attributed to Trump. Overall, the reports characterize the interaction as a visible lack of contact between the two leaders at the NATO setting, occurring immediately before or during the group-photo stage. The accounts differ mainly in emphasis, with some focusing on Meloni’s demeanor and others on the apparent disregard during the lineup, but they broadly agree on the basic sequence: Trump passes Meloni without greeting or eye contact.
