“We have a young woman here. I wouldn’t be allowed to say this – in the United States, usually, it’s career-ending if you do that – but I’ll take the risk: she’s a young, beautiful woman. She wanted to be here, it’s incredible. In Italy she’s a very successful politician. Don’t you mind if I say you’re beautiful? Because you really are.” Thus American President Donald Trump, addressing Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on the sidelines of the summit on peace in the Middle East.
