In early December, Giorgia Meloni met Donald Trump at the Elysee Palace, marking their first encounter amidst her strategic engagements with MAGA supporters. Trump subsequently praised Meloni, indicating she could be a reliable ally. Their relationship will come into sharper focus during their forthcoming summit in Washington, which poses a dual challenge for Meloni: solidifying her rapport with Trump while simultaneously keeping in mind her commitments to Italy's EU partners, amidst recent tariff decisions taken by Trump.
Meloni's influence is being tested as she meets Trump again in Washington... This summit provides an opportunity for her to strengthen ties while navigating EU relations.
Trump praised Meloni as a 'real live wire' and someone he could collaborate with effectively to 'straighten out the world a little bit.'
The Elysee Palace dinner marked the first encounter between Meloni and Trump, reflecting her long-term relationship building with MAGA supporters since her election.
While Meloni seeks to bond with Trump, she must also carefully balance her political affiliations with Italy's EU partners and their expectations.
