Giorgia Meloni Visits Trump at Mar-a-Lago

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni made a surprise visit to President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence, aiming to strengthen diplomatic ties between Italy and the U.S. The meeting, which included discussions on peace initiatives, industrial cooperation, and the detention of Italian journalist Cecilia Sala in Iran, underscored Meloni's role as a key European leader. Trump praised Meloni for her influence in Europe, describing her as a 'fantastic woman' who has 'really taken Europe by storm.' The visit comes ahead of her scheduled meeting with President Joe Biden in Rome next week, further highlighting Italy's position as a potential diplomatic bridge between the EU and the U.S. Meloni's growing connection with influential figures like Elon Musk also indicates her alignment with conservative circles in America.
