A phone call in Albania becomes a "bone of contention" between Meloni

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has warned of "selfishness" among European leaders, following a diplomatic rift that began between her and Emmanuel Macron.

The feud with her French counterpart began on Friday at the European Political Community summit in Albania.

During the summit, Meloni was not invited to take part in a joint call with Donald Trump. She told Italian journalists that she was blocked because of her refusal to send troops to Ukraine as part of a proposed “coalition of the willing.”

Macron, who was on the phone with Sir Keir Starmer, Donald Tusk, the president of Poland, and Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, accused Ms. Meloni of spreading disinformation.

"The discussion is about a ceasefire - let's avoid the spread of false information. There is already enough of that information coming from Russia ," the French president said.
