Meloni Meets Trump at Mar-a-Lago

President-elect Donald Trump hosted Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida for an informal dinner and documentary screening. Trump praised Meloni, calling her a 'fantastic woman' and highlighting her impact in Europe. The meeting occurred just days before Meloni's scheduled meeting with President Biden in Rome, where they will discuss U.S.-Italy relations. Notable attendees included Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who has been appointed as Trump's Secretary of State, and other potential administration officials. While the agenda of the meeting was not fully disclosed, topics may have included the situation of Italian journalist Cecilia Sala detained in Iran and ongoing tensions in Europe regarding NATO and support for Ukraine. Meloni's visit signifies a potential strengthening of alliances between conservative leaders in the U.S. and Europe.
