Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday amid a tense trade standoff with the European Union over tariffs. Meloni’s visit to Washington makes her the first European leader to meet the president since he announced tariffs on European imports earlier this month.

Meloni goes on to say the goal for Europe and the US is to "make the West great again". She says Trump has accepted an official visit to Rome, which she mentioned earlier. Meloni also says Trump's visit isn't just about Italy, but about all of Europe.

U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to an official visit to Rome and will consider also meeting representatives of the European Union while there, Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Thursday in the Oval Office.
