So, certain things deserve an immediate response. Donald Trump's statements are completely fabricated.
I am frankly stunned. I don't know why the President of the United States behaves this way with his own allies. It's not the first time this has happened, after all.
I can only say that it's disappointing he doesn't show the same resolve toward the enemies of the West, toward the enemies of the United States — toward those leaders with whom he is instead much more accommodating.
But there is one thing he should remember, Italy and I: We never beg.
