Before the Oval Office meeting, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni met with President Trump and his cabinet to talk trade.
The media came hungry for a headline about a brewing tariff war with the EU.
But instead of posturing, Meloni delivered a masterclass in diplomacy—and extended an invitation to President Trump.
When a reporter tried to stir up drama—
“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 hesitate:
“I am sure we can make a deal.”
She made clear she wasn’t speaking for Brussels—just trying to build bridges.
“I’m here to help on that. I cannot, look, deal in the name of the European Union.”
Then came the 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 such a meeting with Europe.”
Her strategy was simple: skip the drama, talk straight, 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.”
And when asked about her politics?
“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.”
Then she closed with a message loud and clear:
“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 meeting ended on an optimistic note—with a clear message: the pendulum is finally swinging back on immigration. Trump unleashed on Europe’s failed open-border agenda. “And I’m not a big fan [of] Europe and what they’ve done with immigration at all,” he said. “I think they got to get smart because Europe is being very badly hurt by what they’ve done with immigration.” Then he turned to praise Meloni for taking the kind of stand most EU leaders wouldn’t dare. “I’ll say this, that the prime minister has taken a very tough stand on immigration, and I commented to her before, I said, I wish more people would be like you.” “I want Europe to do very well. I think they have to get a lot smarter on immigration.” Meloni didn’t hesitate—she made it clear: the tide is starting to turn, and Italy is leading the way. “We are beginning to do it.”
“You will see now the policies of the European Union, in the last, let’s say two and a half years, have been changing.” “At the beginning we were talking only about how we were redistributing illegal migrants coming to Italy. Now we are talking mainly about how to stop illegal migration.” “So things are changing.”
“We are working now together, so I’m optimistic on that.” After years of unchecked chaos, it finally sounds like European leaders are waking up—with Meloni standing in the gap as the original bulwark against the globalists in Brussels
After lunch, the cameras rolled inside the Oval Office—and President Trump did something rare.
He doesn’t hand out praise easily. But this time, he meant it.
“She has taken Europe by storm.”
This wasn’t just standard protocol. It was genuine.
“It’s an honor to have the prime minister of Italy with us,” he said. “Prime Minister Meloni, who’s doing a fantastic job.”
Then he took it up a notch:
“Everybody loves her and respects her, and I can’t say that about many people.”
No script. No spin. Just raw respect.
“She’s become a friend, and we really have a great relationship between Italy and ourselves.”
What we saw wasn’t politics as usual. It was strength meeting strength.
