## Resource

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has publicly shattered her past alliance with Donald Trump, calling his claim she “begged” for a photo “totally invented” and accusing him of treating allies worse than enemies — a sharp pivot that signals a growing European conservative backlash against Trump’s influence. Once his closest European ally, Meloni is now refusing U.S. military use of Italian bases in Iran-related operations and distancing herself from his NATO criticism and erratic foreign policy. France’s Jordan Bardella joins the chorus, labeling Trump’s behavior “erratic” and warning against his destabilizing ambitions. Across the continent, right-wing leaders are increasingly wary of Trump’s toxic appeal — even among those who share his views on immigration and sovereignty — fearing his unpredictable foreign policy threatens Europe’s security interests. With major elections looming, Trump’s divisive rhetoric may ironically empower anti-Trump parties, as European conservatives chart a more independent course away from the former U.S. president.
