‘Make the West great again’ Meloni meets Trump at the White House⁣ ⁣ As the first EU leader to enter the Oval Office since the latest round of U.S.–EU tariff sparring, the pair held a 90‑minute amidst strained trans‑Atlantic ties.⁣ ⁣ Meloni pressed for a 90 day freeze to explore tariff options, which Trump called ‘possible, maybe easy’. ⁣ On NATO and defence, Meloni reiterated Italy will reach the 2% GDP spending target this year.⁣ ⁣ The leaders discussed a U.S.-Italy minerals deal to fund Kyiv’s reconstruction, with Trump adding that the EU must step up on security guarantees.⁣ ⁣ Both railed against illegal flows of migrants, though Meloni defended the EU’s broader asylum pact that Trump ridiculed.⁣ ⁣ Trump accepted an invitation for an official visit to Rome “in the near future” and said he would consider meeting EU officials there if progress on tariffs is visible.⁣ ⁣ #Meloni #Trump #USItaly #TransatlanticRelations #TradeTalks #Tariffs #NATO #EU #Ukraine #Migration #Diplomacy #MakeT...
