Italian Prime Minister Meloni heads to US to meet Trump
Published in News & Features
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was flying to the U.S. Saturday to meet President-elect Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the plans.
Meloni’s visit comes days before she is scheduled to receive President Joe Biden, who begins a trip to Rome and the Vatican on Jan. 9, in what will likely be his final presidential mission overseas.
Foreign leaders who have visited Trump since the election include Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, President Javier Milei of Argentina and Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary.
The meeting, expected late Saturday at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, could be an opportunity to address the case of Cecilia Sala, the Italian journalist detained by Iran last month.
