Italian PM Giorgia Meloni Skips UN General Assembly Amid Busy Schedule and Trump Dispute
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni skipped the United Nations General Assembly this year, citing a packed schedule after attending six summits in three and a half weeks and domestic responsibilities. Her absence breaks a 15-year tradition of Italian prime ministers attending the UNGA and means she will not meet US President Donald Trump face-to-face, months after a public dispute between them following the G7 Summit. Both leaders have maintained historically cordial ties despite recent tensions.
