Argentina President’s gift to Italy PM Georgia Meloni: A chainsaw-wielding figurine of himself

Rome: Argentinian President Javier Milei recently gifted Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni a chainsaw-wielding figurine of himself, Politico reported. Ms Meloni visited the Argentine Republic earlier this week.

During her visit, she met with Javier Milei at Casa Rosada, where he presented the Italian PM with the bizarre gift.

A photo of the odd gift has since surfaced online. It shows the two leaders standing side-by-side, with Ms Meloni holding the figurine. Notably, according to Politico, Mr Milei took up an actual chainsaw as a rally prop during his 2023 presidential campaign, promising to slash the size of the state.
