Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni recently met with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club, thanking him for welcoming her to his Florida residence, adding that she was “ready to work” with his new administration.
“Great evening with @realDonaldTrump whom I thank for the welcome. Ready to work together,” Meloni wrote in a Sunday X post, sharing a photo of herself standing with the 45th and soon-to-be 47th President of the United States.
Meloni’s meeting with Trump lasted about five hours, according to a report by Italian media outlet RaiNews.
Likely members of the next Trump administration were also present, such as senator candidate for secretary of state Marco Rubio (R-FL) and hedge fund manager and Treasury secretary candidate Scott Bessent, added the media.
During the meeting, Meloni was reportedly hailed as “a fantastic woman” who “really took Europe and everyone by storm.”
Trump and Meloni also watched a screening of Eastman’s Dilemma: Lawfare or Justicea documentary that would focus on the challenges conservatives face in the US justice system, RaiNews noted.
Italy is also no stranger to taking legal action against its political figures, as Meloni’s mentor, the late billionaire media mogul and former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, faced more than two decades of battles legal.
In 2013, Berlusconi spoke out against Italy’s “uncontrollable and uncontrolled” justice system and accused the government of persecuting him with “a fury that has no equal anywhere in the civilized world.”
“In exchange for the commitment I have given to my country for almost 20 years, now almost at the end of my professional life, I receive as a reward accusations and a conviction based on absolutely nothing that deprives me of my independence personal. freedom and my political rights,” Berlusconi declared at the time.
Italian MP Luca d’Alessandro also intervened at the time, saying: “This country was famous for being the cradle of law. Today, it has become his tomb managed by a corporation of gravediggers in robes who committed the perfect crime.
“Honor and solidarity with Silvio Berlusconi, who is certainly more innocent and cleaner than those who unjustly condemned him,” added d’Alessandro.
