Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has made it clear that she does not regret building strong ties with U.S. President Donald Trump, even as recent disagreements have tested the relationship between the two leaders.
Meloni said her engagement with Trump was aimed at strengthening cooperation between Italy and the United States and promoting unity among Western allies. The two leaders, once viewed as close political partners, have recently differed on key international issues, including policy responses toward Iran and wider global security matters.
Despite the public differences, Meloni stressed that maintaining open communication with Washington remains important for European stability and transatlantic relations. She also pointed to shared positions with Trump on immigration and cultural issues, while reaffirming Italy's independent foreign policy approach.
The comments come amid growing debate within Europe over relations with the Trump administration and the future direction of cooperation within NATO.
