President Donald Trump and Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: Building a Strong Bridge Between Europe and America

A new transatlantic relationship is forming between Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has referred to her as a great woman in Europe, and Meloni has called Trump a strong and intelligent defender of the Western world.

Meloni, who was the only European leader present at Trump's inauguration, recently visited Trump at his Mar-a-Lago retreat in Florida, marking the beginning of this relationship just two weeks ago. This firm step could lead Italy toward a new, special relationship with the United States, potentially establishing her as Washington’s new trusted ally in Europe.

However, there are challenges regarding Italy's trade surplus and low defense spending, which could affect the relationship between the two countries. Experts warn that Meloni’s alignment with Trump could weaken her position within the European Union and potentially isolate her.

Now, Meloni is attempting to build a bridge between Europe and America through this new relationship, though it comes with high risks and political pressures.
