Italian PM Meloni to Trump: We Can ‘Make the West Great Again’

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni met U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on April 17, 2025, marking her as the first European leader to hold face-to-face talks with Trump since he announced and then partially suspended 20% tariffs on European exports. The convivial meeting focused on trade, tariffs, defense, NATO, and the war in Ukraine, with both leaders expressing optimism about resolving EU-US trade tensions.

Trump praised Meloni, calling her a “friend” and “fantastic leader,” while Meloni emphasized shared goals like countering “woke and DEI ideology” and making “the West great again.”

Meloni also committed to increasing Italy’s NATO defense spending, currently at 1.49% of GDP, toward the 2% target, addressing Trump’s demands. The meeting was a triumph.

The media wanted a headline about a tariff war with the EU and Trump.

Instead, Giorgia Meloni delivered a masterclass in diplomacy—and invited him to Italy.

A reporter tried to stir up tension:

“The retaliatory tariffs that the European Commission passed and then suspended, are they still on the table if you cannot make a deal with President Trump?”

Meloni didn’t blink:

“I am sure I can make a deal.”

She wasn’t there to posture—or speak for Brussels.

“I’m here to help on that. I cannot, look, deal in the name of the European Union.”

Then she made her move.

“My goal would be, invite President Trump to pay a visit to Italy and understand if there’s a possibility when he comes to organize also such a meeting with Europe.”

Her strategy was simple: talk straight, drop the drama, and find common ground.

“I think the best way is that we simply speak frankly about the needs that every one of us has, and find ourselves in the middle for——that’s useful for all.”

When asked about her political identity, she didn’t back down.

“Somebody calls me such a ‘Western nationalism,’ I don’t know if it is the right words, but I’m sure that together we are stronger.”

And she closed with a message that couldn’t be clearer:

“And I have to find a way——I’m here to find the best way to make us both stronger on both sides of the Atlantic.”

    The fastest way to make the West great again is to kick out the 90% of Congress that holds a duel citizenship with their home Country of Israel. Traitors within are destroying the US and have been since the coup of 1963. Things would change for the better over night . When the parasites have nothing to feed off of or steal from you watch the Economy grow. For all of the inbred billionaires that shipped all of their companies and jobs over seas. Let them also move to those same countries and revoke their citizenships.
