Giorgia Meloni said Donald Trump had accepted her invitation for an official trip to Rome.

Axar.az reports the pair met in Washington in an attempt by the Italian prime minister to bridge the gap between the EU and US amid trade tariff tensions.

Meloni said Trump’s trip could happen “in the near future” and could present an opportunity for him to meet other European leaders.

“The goal for me is to make the west great again,” Meloni said.

Trump opened the summit in the Oval Office on Thursday by saying Meloni was “doing a fantastic job” and had “taken Europe by storm”, adding that she “has become a friend”.

It should be noted that U.S. Vice President James David Vance will visit Rome today.
