A video has gone viral showing Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni looking not too thrilled about shaking the hand of French President Emmanuel Macron during the G7 summit in Italy.
Italian PM Meloni gives France's Macron 'death stare' after clash over G7 statement
G7 声明引发争议后,意大利总理梅洛尼“死亡凝视”法国总统马克龙
The video clip from Friday shows Macron going down a line, shaking the hands of Italian President Sergio Mattarella and his daughter, first lady of Italy Laura Mattarella, before arriving at Meloni.
As Macron makes his way down the line, Meloni can be seen giving a frosty "death stare" at Macron. When the French leader arrives, she appears to force a smile as the two shake hands.
The exchange came after the two leaders clashed over the use of the word "abortion" in the G7 statement. Meloni’s government had sought to water down references to abortion in the final statement issued by all the G7 nations at the end of the summit.
梅洛尼于2022年当选意大利总理,她的政治主张是鼓励女性生育,以缓解意大利的人口缩减危机。
Meloni, who in 2022 became Italy’s first female prime minister, campaigned with the slogan of "God, fatherland, and family." She has prioritized encouraging women to have babies to reverse Italy’s demographic crisis.
