Italian PM Meloni calls for 'immediate summit' between US and Europeans
Mar 02, 2025
Rome [Italy], March 2: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has called for an "immediate summit" between Europe and the United States following the fiery public confrontation between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday.
She urged the trans-Atlantic allies to stay united.
"Every split in the West makes us all weaker and favours those who want to bring about the downfall of our civilization," she said in a statement.
"A division would benefit no one."
She said there must be open discussion about "how we want to deal with today's major challenges, starting with Ukraine."
The right-wing prime minister is considered one of the most important contacts for the new US government among European leaders. Trump has praised her on several occasions. Meloni has also visited him twice in the past few weeks. (DPA)
