Meloni, who praised her "fantastic" White House meeting, reaffirmed her support for Trump’s stance against "woke ideology." Trump, who has been critical of the EU, made an exception for Meloni, his only invited EU leader in January. Meloni is pushing for U.S. tariffs on the EU to be reduced, promising increased gas purchases and Italian investments in the U.S. Trump accepted her invitation to meet European leaders in Rome, but no date has been set. #GiorgiaMeloni #JDVance #Trump #USItalyRelations #EULeaders #PoliticalTies #Tariffs #Italy #USPolitics #MeloniInRome #TradePolicy #WokeIdeology #TrumpSupporters #ItalianInvestments #GasPurchases #TrumpEU #Diplomacy #EconomicPolicy #USForeignPolicy #WhiteHouseMeeting #EUExceptions #USItalyRelations #MeloniVisit #PoliticalAllies #EUTrade #GlobalPolitics #USTariffs #TrumpAdministration #PoliticalDynamics #MeloniTrump #EuropeRelations Also Read US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc China Brushes Off US Tariff Threats, Warns Against 'Numbers Game' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-brushes-off-us-tariff-threats-warns-against-numbers-game-4126079.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Freezes USD 2.2 Billion In Grants To Harvard University :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-freezes-usd-2-2-billion-in-grants-to-harvard-university-4124075.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.410~GR.121~
