Trump’s Compliment, Erdogan’s Advice: Giorgia Meloni Steals Show At Gaza Peace Meet

The Sharm el-Sheikh Gaza peace summit turned into a stage for Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s viral moments. From Donald Trump calling her “beautiful” — and admitting such a remark could end his career — to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan advising her to quit smoking, Meloni handled it all with grace and humour. Her expressions, including a polite ‘namaste’, won the internet. The 48-year-old leader, the only woman among 30 world leaders at the meet, also became a trending figure when Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Despite the summit’s serious agenda, Meloni was the unexpected star of the event.
