US President Donald Trump signed the Gaza peace agreement in front of world leaders in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. From that very stage, Trump praised the beauty of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Among the nearly 30 heads of state present on stage that day, Meloni was the only woman. On Monday, overshadowing everything else, Giorgia Meloni became the center of attention on that stage.

Right after signing the Gaza peace agreement, Trump's attention turned to Meloni. Looking at the Italian Prime Minister, he said, "You are a beautiful young woman." Trump claimed that in America, saying this apparently means the end of one's political career. Trump said, "I'm not allowed to say this. Because in the United States, if you call a woman beautiful, your political life is over. But I'll still take the opportunity to say it."

The 79-year-old Trump, married three times, then directly shot a question at Meloni, saying, "You don't mind me calling you beautiful, do you? Because you are beautiful." Hearing such praise about herself from Trump's mouth, Meloni laughed. However, Trump didn't stop there. Continuing his praise, he also described Meloni as an "incredible leader" and "successful politician."

Trump said, "Meloni wanted to come here. Everyone in Italy respects her greatly. She is a successful politician." Such unexpected praise of Meloni at a discussion platform about the Gaza peace agreement has caught many people's attention. All in all, the video of Trump's "beauty compliment" to Meloni is now more viral than the Gaza peace agreement itself.
