At the G7 summit in southern Italy, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and French President Emmanuel Macron clashed over several issues, including abortion rights. Meloni accused Macron of electioneering, which was perceived as a reflection of his domestic political challenges. Macron's attempt to include the right to abortion in the G7 statement was blocked by Meloni. The tension between the two leaders was further highlighted by Meloni's viral 'death stare' and cold interactions with Macron, including a colder-than-Arctic handshake. This followed Macron’s late arrival at the leaders' dinner on day one.
