Meloni: I agree with the statement of the American vice president, Europe is a
Giorgia Meloni

Giorgia Meloni told the Financial Times that she agrees with the US vice president's statement that Europe is a bit lost. According to her, Italy should not choose between the US and the EU, while also commenting on the security force for Ukraine.

The Italian prime minister said it was "in everyone's interest" to overcome strains in transatlantic relations, describing the reactions of some European leaders to Donald Trump as "a little too political".

Meloni made it clear that he did not see the American president as an adversary and that he would continue to respect Italy's "first ally."

"I'm a conservative. Trump is a Republican leader. Of course I'm closer to him than many others, but I understand a leader who defends his national interests," Meloni said.

"Our relations with the US are the most important relations we have. Italy can have good relations with [the United States] and if there is something that Italy can also do to avoid a [US] confrontation with Europe and to build bridges, I will do that - and it is in the interest of Europeans," she stressed.

Meloni even expressed agreement with US Vice President Vance's positions on Europe at the Munich Conference.

"I have to say I agree. I've been saying this for years... Europe has lost a bit of itself. Trump's criticism of Europe was not aimed at its people, but at its "ruling class... and the idea that instead of reading reality and finding ways to respond to people, you can impose your ideology on people," she added.

While the Commission has vowed to retaliate against Trump's tariffs, Meloni wants the EU to maintain its composure.

"Sometimes I get the impression that we just respond instinctively," she said.

"On these topics you have to say, 'Stay calm, guys. Let's think.'"

She remains skeptical about the French and British proposal for a European "security force" for Ukraine, which she says could be seen by Moscow as a provocation.

“We have to be careful here. This could be seen more as a threat,” she said.
Instead, she advocates extending NATO’s Article 5 mutual defense clause to Ukraine — without actually admitting Kiev into the alliance — which she claims would be “easier and more effective” than other proposals.
