🇮🇹Italy denied the US access to its Sigonella air base.
The US planned to have a stopover at #Sigonella on the way to the Middle East without prior consultation with Italy. The Italian Defense Minister, a member of the right wing Forza Italia party, denied the permission after learning the flights were not in accordance with Italy's treaty with the US.
This is but the latest snub President Trump received from his ideological allies in Europe. Yesterday, the chairman of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) called for the withdrawal of #US troops from Germany.
