Italy's Meloni will host Macron in Rome on June 3, her office says
Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will host French President Emmanuel Macron for talks in Rome on June 3, Meloni's office said on Wednesday.
Italian PM Giorgia Meloni met with Donald Trump and JD Vance in Washington, using charm, shared views, and her native Italian to strengthen ties. She later hosted Vance in Rome, praised U.S.-Italy relations, and invited Trump to visit Europe.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni made headlines this week during high-level meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, using personal charm, shared political views, and her native Italian to deepen ties with Washington.
Meloni met both leaders at the White House on Thursday before returning to Italy, while Vance also traveled to Rome for the Easter holidays. At a joint press conference, Meloni answered a question in Italian, prompting Trump to joke: “That was so beautiful! What the hell did you say?” Her comments reportedly contradicted Trump’s claim that Ukraine’s president was to blame for the ongoing war.
In Rome, Meloni and Vance met again for lunch, where she praised their talks as “fantastic”. Vance joked about her Italian remarks, saying even if she insulted him, “it would be in the most beautiful language imaginable”.
Meloni, seen as a close Trump ally, voiced support for his stance against “woke ideology” and diversity policies. She also promised to buy more U.S. gas and encouraged Italian investment in America, hoping this could help ease Trump’s threatened tariffs on EU goods.
She invited Trump to visit Rome and meet other European leaders, an invitation he accepted, though no date has been set. Trump, eager to highlight friendly global ties, praised Meloni, saying, “Everyone loves and respects her… she’s taken Europe by storm”.
With shared conservative values and strategic cooperation on the table, Meloni’s charm offensive appears to have paid off.
