Italian media report that Giorgia Meloni has traveled to the U.S., with her destination being Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago, Florida. The “secret mission,” meticulously organized, comes two weeks before the Republican takes office in the White House and just a few days before Joe Biden’s visit to Italy. It is possible that this unexpected trip to the United States is related to the case of Italian journalist Cecilia Sala, who is being held in Tehran’s Evin prison, Reuters reports.
Additionally, it is likely that topics such as the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, customs tariffs, and the broader U.S.-EU relations will be discussed. Meloni aims to serve as a bridge between Europe and Trump’s new administration.
The Prime Minister’s plane took off on Saturday morning, shortly after 11:00 AM. After a technical stop at Shannon Airport in Ireland, the journey continued, and around midnight, Italian time, it arrived in the United States. The meeting at Mar-a-Lago is scheduled for 1:30 AM Italian time.
Meloni’s Mission Confirmed
Meloni’s mission across the Atlantic has been confirmed by Italian sources, while Andrea Stroppa, Elon Musk’s representative in Italy, posted on X (formerly Twitter) with flags of Italy and the U.S., accompanied by an AI-generated image featuring the Prime Minister, Trump, and Musk dressed in ancient Roman attire.
