Let's remember that despite Meloni's constant entreaties, Trump treats her like he treats other women: poorly. He did not alert her to beginning of the Iran War, which left her in the embarrassing position of having her own Minister of Defense stuck in Dubai on a family vacation! Crosetto seems to have been annoyed by this as well, though he hung around in Dubai with two of his kids for a little while to save face.
