Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is deeply concerned about US President Donald Trump’s behavior and is trying to find an approach to him, but so far without success, Bloomberg reports.
Due to this concern, Meloni carefully avoids any public criticism of the US president, Italian officials told Bloomberg on condition of anonymity.
As a result, all statements by the Italian prime minister regarding trade and efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine are carefully measured to avoid irritating the White House.
Despite this, Italian automakers such as Stellantis NV have already felt the impact of the new US tariffs, according to the media outlet. Meanwhile, luxury car manufacturer Ferrari NV has announced price increases for some models in the US.
Additionally, last weekend, the Trump administration revoked Eni SpA’s permit to receive payments for the gas it extracts in Venezuela. In 2023, the Italian energy company earned approximately 320 million euros there.
The media outlet notes that Meloni has sought to establish herself as a key figure both in the EU and in relations with the US. Hosting the G7 summit in Italy last year showcased her ability to work with various political forces amid growing divisions.

Meloni is finding out what many Trump supporters in the US are finding out.
It doesn’t matter how much you support, what you say about him. He doesn’t give a shit. He only cares about himself, his wealth, his power.

Even those who thought that Trump had some good qualities and there were some nice things about his policies…
I have to admit, I didn’t predict how bad it would be. In 2016-2020 he was a bit different but it was manageable, but *this* time he’s absolutely off the fucking rails. He’s destroying everything he can touch and nothing appears to be able to stop him. Not congress, not judges. He doesn’t care.

After giving that embarassing interview where she agreed with him and JD Mascara?

Is she that dumb? Or is she just pretending a shocked pikatchu moment?

The recent alliance of China, South Korea and Japan should give Italian Automakers some fuel to fight this. Even by approaching these Asian countries on trade.

Meloni needs to learn to read the room. Her beloved Trump is in bed with the Russians and actively undermining her. How bad is Italian intelligence?!? Literally everyone but her has figured it out.
She thinks she’s Machiavelli but she’s not.

She’s deeply concerned because everyone who bet on the Right are suddenly realising that they’ve bet on the wrong horse and the wrong side of history.
In Europe, people power matters, and these fools are suddenly feeling the pressure on their careers.

Pathetic how she is desperately trying to clench her lips around Trump’s dick, despite getting kicked in the face again and again. Must suck to be a EU based anti-globalist.
