Italy Urges US-Europe Summit After Trump-Zelensky Rift
Following a contentious White House meeting between Presidents Zelensky and Trump that ended without agreement on a mineral deal, Italian Prime Minister Meloni urged an immediate summit of the U.S., EU, and Western allies to address the ongoing situation in Ukraine. This call emphasizes the need for unified Western action, warning against divisions that weaken the West and benefit adversaries. Meloni’s proposal, to be communicated to allies shortly, follows recent reaffirmations of support for Ukraine from European leaders, highlighting growing concerns about exclusion from US-Russia negotiations. The proposed summit builds upon a previous meeting convened in Paris.
