Giorgia Meloni Meets Trump Amid EU Tariff Talks
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni arrives in Washington to engage in crucial discussions with President Trump, centered around the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and Europe. As she seeks to negotiate a tariff deal, Meloni is positioned as a potential bridge between the EU and the U.S., particularly amidst fears of escalating trade hostilities. Trump expressed confidence that a deal is forthcoming, yet maintains that there is no rush. The stakes are high for Meloni, who faces pressure not to undermine EU interests while aiming to secure favorable terms for Italy and the broader European context during this high-profile meeting.
