Washington: Giorgia Meloni is better placed to talk to Donald Trump than anyone else in Europe, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said Monday ahead of the Italian premier’s visit to Washington Thursday.
According to Ansa News Agency, Crosetto emphasized Meloni’s unique position during an appearance on the program ‘Cinque minuti’ on Rai 1, stating, “I think Giorgia Meloni, more than any other European leader, can talk to Trump, explain the reasons why this Western alliance on which the world has been supported for 80 years must continue and is made up of two pillars: the United States and Europe; the sum of the two makes us more credible in the world.”
Crosetto highlighted Trump’s pragmatic approach to international relations, describing it as a negotiation-based perspective. “The relationship he has established with the world is: ‘what do you give me/what do I give you’, ‘what are the advantages of cooperating with you and what are the disadvantages’ and I think that with Europe there are more advantages than disadvantages,” he concluded.
