Hand on Waist Becomes Big News

A video of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni went viral on social media in which she was seen keeping one hand on her waist while looking at US President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Meloni, known for her unique style and body language, often makes headlines. During the recent G7 summit, several of her videos went viral. However, one particular photo where she stood with her hand on her waist while observing Trump and Merz created a lot of buzz.

Now, Meloni has herself commented on the photo in a humorous way. She said, 'I was in the news because I quit smoking, because I wore a tie, because I once put my hand on my waist.'

She jokingly added, 'Actually, I had quit smoking a long time ago, but you didn’t notice it in time. So you missed that news.'

In the viral video, Meloni is seen watching Trump and Merz converse, then walking closer and standing with one hand on the chair and the other on her waist. Many memes have been made on this pose.

During the G7 summit, Meloni also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Their warm greeting and light-hearted conversation caught attention. When Meloni said, 'It’s good to see you again,' PM Modi referred to the trending 'Melodi' on social media. Meloni replied playfully, 'Yes, we are the most popular on Instagram.'
