Rome, January 10, 2025 – Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has commented on President-elect Donald Trump’s recent remarks about acquiring Greenland and the Panama Canal, viewing them not as genuine territorial ambitions but as strategic warnings aimed at China and other global powers. Meloni emphasized that such rhetoric reflects broader power dynamics between major nations.
Meloni also confirmed her plans to attend Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, stressing the importance of strong transatlantic relations. She reassured that Trump’s comments do not signal a change in U.S. support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia and highlighted Italy’s diplomatic success in securing the release of journalist Cecilia Sala from Iran.
