Meloni did not respond personally.<\/p>\n

She was targeted by Trump last month after the G7 summit, where he said that she had \u201cbegged\u201d him for a photo opportunity and that he only agreed because he \u201cfelt sorry for her\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also accused Meloni of trying to repair relations with Washington for domestic political reasons after Italy failed to support US action against Iran.<\/p>\n

At the time, Meloni said: \u201cThese constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead of commenting on her popularity, she said: \u201cI suggest you focus on yours.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that \u201cBeing your friend has not helped\u201d her popularity.<\/p>\n

Far-right leader Meloni had positioned herself as a European leader able to mediate between Europe and Trump but has increasingly distanced herself from him.<\/p>\n

Trump has been highly critical of European Nato countries ahead of this week\u2019s meeting in Ankara of the 32-country alliance.<\/p>\n
