Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is skipping this week’s United Nations General Assembly, breaking a roughly 15-year stretch of Italian prime ministers attending the annual high-level debate. Meloni cited a packed schedule after attending six summits in three and a half weeks. Her absence also comes amid months of public tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump over Iran, NATO and other international issues. #GiorgiaMeloni #DonaldTrump #UNGA #UnitedNations #ViralNews #ViralClip #LatestUSNews #BreakingNews #Italy #Trump #Meloni #USPolitics #WorldNews #BreakingNews #LatestUSNews ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
