Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sent a clear message at this week’s G7 summit when she gave a now-viral eye roll in response to French President Emmanuel Macron. The moment, caught on camera, captured Meloni’s unmistakable expression of disdain after Macron whispered something to her during a roundtable in Alberta, Canada.
Though the content of Macron’s whisper remains unknown, Meloni’s dramatic reaction spoke volumes. Within hours, the footage set social media ablaze. “Meloni is awesome, she can’t hide her [disdain] for the globalist elite,” one user wrote on X. Another quipped, “What did Macron tell Giorgia Meloni? I will divorce my wife, will you marry me?”
The summit’s focus was officially on trade, but Meloni’s body language highlighted a growing rift between traditionalist leaders and the progressive agendas pushed by some G7 members. Macron, known for championing globalism and EU centralization, appeared unfazed, but Meloni’s response struck a chord with many conservatives who view her as a bulwark against globalist overreach.
Her unapologetic reaction captured the frustration felt by millions of Europeans tired of tone-deaf leadership. As one commentator summed it up, “The G7 is off to such a good start.”
