Meloni Denies Being Aligned with Trump, Upholds Italy’s Foreign Policy
(MENAFN) Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Thursday defended her government against claims of excessive alignment with US President Donald Trump, emphasizing that Italy’s foreign policy remains consistent with its long-established Western commitments.
According to reports, Meloni addressed lawmakers in Rome, stating, "Italy's international positioning wasn't invented by this government, but has remained the same for about 80 years."
She dismissed suggestions that Italy must choose between the US and Europe, labeling such claims as a “now-cliched refrain.”
Responding to opposition leader Elly Schlein of the center-left Democratic Party, Meloni stressed that her administration maintains a cohesive approach to transatlantic relations.
"I would say, borrowing a phrase dear to Elly Schlein, that we are stubbornly united," she said.
"We are 'stubbornly Western,' because only if the West is united can it be a force capable of expressing its voice on the world stage."
