Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni recently met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, signaling a potential alliance based on shared conservative ideologies and a critique of 'woke' culture. Meloni, the only European leader to attend Trump's inauguration, aligned herself with Trump's 'Make the West Great Again' agenda. While Trump has been critical of Europe on trade and Ukraine, Meloni's visit offers a convenient opening for transatlantic dialogue. Unlike European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who hasn't secured a meeting with Trump, Meloni is seen as a valuable intermediary. During the meeting, Meloni avoided directly criticizing Russia or challenging Trump's views on Ukraine. Trump praised Meloni, hinting at potential trade agreements despite existing trade imbalances and defense spending discrepancies. Surprise fact: Italy’s trade surplus with the United States runs about forty-five billion dollars as Americans buy up Chianti, parmesan cheese and Gucci bags. According to CNN, Trump accepted Meloni's invitation to visit Rome. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/17/politi...
