Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni met with Donald Trump in Washington, where both leaders pledged to "make the West great again." Meloni emphasized a shared opposition to "woke" and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) ideologies, calling for a revival of Western civilization’s values. Trump, nodding in agreement, welcomed Meloni’s stance and confirmed he would visit Rome officially. The meeting touched on trade, with Trump assuring a forthcoming EU tariff deal and plans to sign the delayed Ukraine minerals agreement next week. Meloni is the first EU leader to meet Trump since his imposition of paused 20% tariffs on the bloc. (PC: BBC)
