Briefly

Italy 'open and interested' in joining Trump's Peace Board, Meloni says
""We are open, available, and interested," "I wouldn't consider it a smart choice for Italy and Europe to exclude themselves," "For us, there is a constitutional compatibility issue ... This certainly doesn't allow us to sign tomorrow.""
""a political issue" "Russia sits in the United Nations, the UN Security Council, and the G20," "In any organisation you sit in, you sit with someone who is distant. The multilateral system was created for this.""
""I called Donald Trump and told him: 'Look, I think you're not understanding. And I think it's a mistake to threaten to impose tariffs on those nations that have made this choice,'" Meloni said."
Italy expresses openness and interest in joining President Trump's proposed 'Board of Peace' while citing a constitutional compatibility issue that prevents immediate commitment. Several European countries, including France, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, have confirmed they will not join. Concerns persist that the board, likely to include Israel, Pakistan, Hungary and Russia among others, could sideline the UN and reshape the international order. Italy has cultivated close ties with the United States and has positioned itself as an unofficial EU interlocutor in Washington. Russia's potential inclusion is framed as a political issue, with multilateral forums noted for seating distant parties together. Communication problems have been blamed for recent US-Europe tensions, including disputes over training deployments in Greenland and threats of tariffs.
