Meloni admits: “With Trump, I thought it would have been easier”

"With Donald Trump, I thought things would be easier, given our shared views on immigration and 'woke' culture." This was stated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in an interview with the New York Times. When asked about her relationship with the US President, she admitted that it had proved more difficult than expected. Their relationship over the past year has become increasingly strained, with attacks from the tycoon that the FdI leader has not always taken well. “Things have turned out differently,” she admitted.

In the interview, when asked whether the two would speak again after the summer during a phone call, Meloni replied: “Well, we’ll see.” And she reiterated: “I still believe that Western unity is fundamental. I do not determine Italian strategy on the basis of my personal relationships.” She continued: “I am someone who sets rules for myself. The first rule is that I never say anything I don’t believe. There’s no way you could make me say something I don’t believe: my brain would short-circuit. I believe people can tell the difference. They can tell when something isn’t true, when it’s false, and I believe that’s the biggest mistake a politician can make.”
