Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has ignited a transatlantic firestorm after blasting U.S. President Donald Trump over what she called an insult to Pope Leo XIV. Meloni labeled Trump’s remarks “unacceptable,” triggering a diplomatic clash between Rome and Washington. The war of words escalated when Trump fired back in an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, saying, “I’m shocked at her. I thought she had courage, but I was wrong,” and accusing her of refusing to support U.S. efforts in the ongoing conflict.

BJP Leaders Protest Outside Rahul's Residence Over Women Quota Bill; Hema Malini, Bansuri Lead

Tensions escalated in Delhi after the failure of the 131st Constitution Amendment Bill on women’s reservation in the Lok Sabha triggered a political showdown between the BJP and the Congress-led INDIA bloc. JP leaders, including Hema Malini and Bansuri Swaraj, led a protest march towards Rahul Gandhi’s residence, accusing the opposition of blocking a historic step towards women’s political empowerment. The protest saw effigies being burnt and slogans raised against the Congress, while two BJP MPs were detained by Delhi Police.
