Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni pledged to reinforce strategic cooperation with Germany as she met German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Rome, where the two leaders signed the Action Plan on Enhanced Strategic Cooperation. ⁣
⁣
Meloni said Europe faced a defining moment and argued Italy and Germany, as founding EU members and leading manufacturing powers, shared responsibility for building a more authoritative and strategically autonomous Europe. ⁣
⁣
Merz echoed the commitment, pointing to 75 years of diplomatic ties and close coordination between the two governments, including recent talks on Greenland and Arctic security amid tensions sparked by comments from U.S. President Donald Trump. ⁣
