US President Donald Trump caused a stir at the Gaza Peace Summit in Egypt by praising Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni—the only female leader on stage—not just for her leadership, but for her looks.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!After signing a landmark declaration for Gaza’s future, the three-times-married 79-year-old turned to Meloni, stating, “I’m not allowed to say it… she’s a beautiful young woman.“
Acknowledging the potential for criticism, Trump quipped: “If you use the word ‘beautiful’ in the United States about a woman, that’s the end of your political career, but I’ll take my chances.” He then asked the smiling Meloni directly, “You don’t mind being called beautiful, right? Because you are.” He went on to call her an “incredible” and “very successful politician,” but his highly scrutinized comments about her appearance dominated the exchange.
Trump Praises Meloni’s Beauty and Leadership at Key Gaza Summit
The signing of “The Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity” at the Gaza summit in Egypt was momentarily overshadowed by an unexpected personal comment from US President Donald Trump directed at Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Addressing a stage full of around 30 world leaders, with Meloni as the sole woman, Trump took a risk, saying he was “not allowed” to make such a remark in the US, before calling her a “beautiful young woman.”
He proceeded to praise her political stature, calling her an “incredible leader” who is “very successful,” but repeated the compliment, concluding with a direct question to the smiling Italian PM: “You don’t mind being called beautiful, right? Because you are.“ The moment drew attention both to the summit’s high-stakes diplomatic environment and Trump’s history of controversial remarks.
