Italy’s conservative prime minister Giorgia Meloni traveled to Mar-a-Lago on Saturday, January 4th, to meet with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump ahead of his inauguration later this month, seeking to be seen as Washington’s primary European ally in the next four years. Although some key differences persist – including on the war in Ukraine – Meloni will undoubtedly serve as an important bridge between Trump and the EU, as no other major European leader can boast a similar good standing with both.
