Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and America’s newly elected President Donald Trump.
Palm Beach, Florida: Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni met America’s newly elected President Donald Trump on Saturday. The two leaders met at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach. Georgia Meloni followed Argentine President Javier Miley as the first person to visit Trump at his Mar-a-Lago after he wins the election in November 2024. After this, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban have also gone to Florida to meet the elected President.
Trump entered the Grand Ballroom around 7 pm on Saturday evening and returned after having dinner about two hours later. “This is very exciting,” Trump told the crowd in front of Meloni. “I am here with a wonderful woman and the Prime Minister of Italy. “He has really surprised Europe and everyone else,” Trump said. We’re just eating dinner tonight. The President-elect and Meloni also met with Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, the Secretary of State of his incoming administration, and Representative Mike Waltz of Florida, the National Security Advisor. Let us tell you that this is Meloni’s first visit after Italian journalist Cecilia Sala was detained by Iranian police while reporting in Tehran at the end of last month.
Ongoing tension between Italy and Iran
The Italian Prime Minister has visited America at a time when her country is under tension with Iran. Let us tell you that America also remains strict against Iran. The recent arrest of an Italian journalist has increased tensions between Italy and Iran. Iran is demanding in return that Italian authorities release an Iranian businessman who was arrested in Milan on a US warrant in connection with a drone strike in Jordan last year that killed three American soldiers.
Meloni will also meet Biden
After meeting Trump, Meloni is also scheduled to meet Biden, who is scheduled to travel to Rome starting Thursday to meet with Meloni as well as Pope Francis. The White House says Meloni’s meeting will “further strengthen the strength of the US-Italy relationship. During this, Biden will thank the Italian Prime Minister “for her strong leadership of the G7 last year. AP) –
