Meloni at the Roman celebration of US independence

The American flag stands out behind her, while Giorgia Meloni, at Villa Taverna for the celebrations of the US Independence Day, renews her hope that the West will remain united in the face of an increasingly complex international situation: "The compactness of the West is an essential condition for facing the challenges of our time, even more so when the point of view is not always coincident".

The reference to the tariff issue, which has been worrying European chancelleries for months, seems clear. With the nightmare of a trade war with Washington. The Prime Minister insists on a quick agreement and considers the proposal of American tariffs at 10 percent with some compensations acceptable. "Italy can count on us, and vice versa", assures the American ambassador to Rome Fertitta, who at Villa Taverna, in addition to Meloni, also receives Salvini, Tajani, the other government representatives and the President of the Senate La Russa.

On a day dedicated to international issues, from the first audience in the Vatican with Pope Leo to the meeting at Palazzo Chigi with the Ecuadorian president, Meloni also celebrates the new ISTAT data on employment on social media. And she states: “Jobs and stable contracts are constantly growing, a clear signal that Italy is changing pace”.
