On Wednesday, after the US presidential election, Giorgia Meloni called Donald Trump to congratulate him on his victory. “The talks are an opportunity to reaffirm the enduring alliance, strategic partnership and deep and historic friendship that have always linked Rome and Washington,” Meloni said after the talks.
The Italian prime minister said the talks were an opportunity to express his willingness to “closely coordinate work on all important international issues, with the common goal of enhancing stability and security.”
Meloni, who has repeatedly publicly expressed his admiration for Elon Musk, went public with his conversation with the Tesla CEO on Thursday. “I am confident that his commitment and vision can be an important support for the United States and Italy as we work together to meet the challenges of the future,” he wrote.
