US President-elect Donald Trump hailed Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as a “fantastic woman” as she became the latest world leader to visit his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.

PM says her relationship with U.S. president-elect is “very solid” and insists his recent incendiary remarks flow from a “peace-through-strength” approach.

Giorgia Meloni had dinner with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Saturday, as the Italian prime minister seeks to strengthen ties with the US president-elect ahead of his swearing in.

What Meloni has shown — so far — is a certain mindfulness to the optics of appearing next to populist figures such as Argentina’s Javier Milei and Hungary’s Orban — also favorites of Trump. She is seeking to carve a path somewhere between the two as a more serious and institutional whisperer, officials say.

I am not aware of Elon Musk financing parties, associations or political exponents around the world, said Giorgia Meloni, adding that George Soros does this.

After Italian prime minister’s visit to Trump’s Florida resort, a journalist is suddenly freed from an Iranian prison. Is there a correlation, and does Giorgia Meloni have the president-elect’s ear?
