In a significant conversation at the White House, US President Donald Trump met with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, marking her as the first European leader to discuss trade post-tariff tensions. Trump expressed confidence in concluding a deal with the EU, asserting negotiations would eventually lead to success, although he noted a relaxed timeline. Meloni, representing a far-right Italian government aligned ideologically with Trump, echoed optimism about the potential for agreement, despite criticisms surrounding the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.
Trump and Meloni spoke with the press before a luncheon at the White House Thursday, highlighting the importance of the meeting amid rising tariff tensions.
Meloni said she was "sure" the US and EU could find an agreement, calling the United States a "reliable partner," despite the outcry caused by Trump's tariffs.
