US-Italy Trade Talks
During her visit to Washington, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and former President Donald Trump expressed optimism about a potential trade deal between the US and Europe, with Trump asserting it would be a “fair deal.” Meloni, the first European leader to visit since Trump’s tariffs were imposed, aimed to strengthen her position as a bridge between the EU and the US amid strained relations, while also addressing issues like immigration and defense spending. Although no tangible outcomes on tariffs emerged, Meloni secured an invitation for Trump to visit Rome, enhancing her credibility in European politics.
