Meloni breaks 15-year UN tradition, skips summit after months of ‘spat’ with Trump
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.
Giorgia Meloni did not go to New York, to the United Nations General Assembly, and in her place she chose to send Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Antonio Tajani.
The Italian Prime Minister chose not to travel to New York for the General Assembly, and the Foreign Minister showed her that Rome is not identical in everything to the White House.

It has been noted that for the first time in 15 years, the Italian Prime Minister is absent from the UN General Assembly. No one really understands the reason for the rift between Trump and Meloni, because she is the closest person to him in Europe. She was the only European leader present at his inauguration. That says a lot.
