Framing Analysis
Donald Trump stated to NBC News that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had sought a photo with him at the G7 but did not support a U.S. plan regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken called for an end to White House insults, citing division of the West. Italy's reported refusal to back a blockade and statements on Strait access appear only in Washington Examiner reporting.
