Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was caught 'rolling her eyes' at Donald Trump as European leaders congregated at the White House.

Leaders of Italy, Germany, the UK and more all flew in to talk about the next steps for a potential Russia and Ukraine ceasefire deal.

Having been embroiled in a war for several years now and admitting to not coming to a peace agreement with Vladimir Putin after meeting with him just days ago, Trump held a meeting to plan for the future.

However, one leader sat beside Trump and eyerolled twice during the discussions - making for viral moments.

The first time, Italian prime minister Meloni was caught rolling her eyes at German chancellor Friedrich Merz as he told Trump that a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine is important.

There, she rolled her eyes several times as both men spoke, and people online found the interaction very telling of what she was thinking.

The clip has gone viral on social media, showing NATO secretary general Mark Rutte, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, British prime minister Keir Starmer, Merz, Meloni, Finnish president Alexander Stubb and French president Emmanuel Macron discussing Ukraine.

While Merz and Macron publicly attempted to push Trump to get a ceasefire deal as negotiations with Russia fell flat, the German chancellor said: “Let's try and put pressure on Russia, because the credibility of this effort, these efforts were are undertaking today, are depending on at least a ceasefire from the beginning of the serious negotiations, from next stop on.

“I would like to emphasize this aspect and would like to see a ceasefire from the next meeting, which should be a trilateral meeting, wherever it takes place.”

But as Merz spoke, Meloni rolled her eyes.

She then rolled her eyes again while Trump was seemingly making a joke.

In a clip posted to X, Trump can be heard joking that Italian governments 'don't last very long', with the country having had 68 different administrations since WW2.

The POTUS added: "You've lasted a long time, you're gonna be there a long time."

While she was laughing and nodding at the POTUS, it was when his attention was no longer on her that she appeared to roll her eyes and faced the front of the room.

To this, people online had a lot to day.

One person wrote: “Italy’s Prime Minister definitely has some of the best eye rolling when she wants someone to STFU.”

Another said: “HOLY S*** - The Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, just ROLLED her eyes after chuckling at Trump’s joke. Trump never fails to be an embarrassment on the world stage.”

Another speculated: “She’s thinking ‘he’s such a fool’.”

A fourth wrote: “The whole world rolls their eyes every time he opens his mouth it's just not usually caught on camera,” while someone else said: “Most women in the world roll their eyes at him, so what's new.”

But others believe she wasn’t being malicious.

In fact, some say she was enjoying a compliment he was paying her, as one wrote: “That to me seems like a oh stop it you praising me like that you're gunna make me blush eye roll. She's actually quite enjoying his compliment FYI.”

UNILAD reached out to the office of the Italian prime minister for comment.
