Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had to step in and translate her own response after a visibly nervous translator fumbled when President Donald Trump suddenly asked her to interpret Meloni’s remarks. The unexpected exchange happened during a high-level interaction between the two leaders. The translator’s visible struggle quickly became the center of attention until Meloni smoothly took over, translating her own words for Trump.

00:00I, I, that sounded absolutely, that was so beautiful, what, what did she say, please?
00:09No, I mean, it sounded great. It was about, it was about.
00:12It was beautifully presented, but maybe I could hear what she said.
00:18Go ahead.
00:20It was about asking.
00:22Guys, hold it, hold it. Have some respect, please.
00:25Thank you. No, no, wait. I want to hear what she said.
00:30Go ahead.
00:31Yeah, President, Prime Minister Maloney was asked whether, what she thinks about the fact that President Trump holds Zelensky responsible for the war in Ukraine.
00:44And Prime Minister Maloney answered, well, actually, we, we have, you know, and also if you talked about the military spending,
00:57how, and the raising of the military spending, and the fact, and the first thing, President,
01:03Prime Minister Maloney said, he said, no, actually, we didn't talk about the raise and military spending.
01:09Of course, Italy will keep its commitments with 2%, and then we will see, because we are absolutely aware of the fact that it is very important to, to,
01:19Well, I will do that.
01:21The defense is very important.
01:21I will do that. I will do that. They've been asking if we raise, if we decided another defense percentage about the defense spending,
01:30and I said, yes, NATO, and I said that Italy is reaching the 2% as it was already decided.
01:37We didn't speak about the specific percentage, but we are aware of the fact that defense is important for the future,
01:47and we see what also the, the, the war that we are trying to do at the European level.
01:51And I don't hold, I don't hold Zelensky responsible, but I'm not exactly thrilled with the fact that that war started.
02:01That was a war that would have never started if I were president.
02:05You'd have millions of people living right now that are dead.
02:08You'd have cities that would be open and thriving, and they'd have their beautiful terrorists.
02:12Those terrorists are the most beautiful in the world, but they're not with us any longer.
02:16They're smashed to smithereens, laying on the ground in a million pieces, getting hit by rockets, bombs, and bullets.
02:25And so I'm not happy with him, and I'm not happy with anybody involved.
02:31I think it's a war. I know it's a war. It didn't happen for four years.
02:34It was never close to happening. It was never even a thought.
02:38And I spoke to President Putin about it a lot. It was the apple of his eye, but there's no way he would have ever gone in if I were president.
02:44Now I'm trying to get him to stop because, as you know, Russia's a lot bigger.
02:51It's a bigger military force. And if you're smart, you don't go involved and get involved in wars that you can blame the man that was sitting in this seat.
03:04Biden, he didn't know what the hell was going on.
03:06But I can guarantee you that, and everybody agrees to it, if I were president, that war would have never taken place.
03:12I'm not blaming him. But what I am saying is that I wouldn't say he's done the greatest job.
03:19Okay? I'm not a big fan. I really am. I'm not a big fan.
