The president has made a breakthrough. He’s ready to make a game-changing move that’ll help Americans.

And President Trump makes a promise that has his fiercest enemies frozen in fear.

Trump Welcomes Italian PM Meloni to Forge New Trade Path and Economic Vision

On Thursday, President Donald Trump hosted Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the White House, signaling a fresh push for a transformative trade agreement between the United States and the European Union. The meeting, marked by optimism and mutual respect, highlighted a shared ambition to reshape economic ties while addressing pressing global challenges.

Meloni became the first European leader to engage with Trump since his administration announced a 90-day pause on the “Liberation Day” reciprocal tariffs last week. Dressed in a striking all-white ensemble, Meloni expressed confidence in the potential for a deal, stating, “I’m sure we can make a deal, and I am here to help with that.”

While acknowledging her role’s limitations, she added, “I cannot lock this deal in the name of the European Union.” She extended an invitation for Trump to visit Italy, proposing it as a step toward broader discussions with European leaders.

Trump, unwavering in his conviction, responded, “There will be a trade deal, 100%,” emphasizing fairness as the cornerstone of any agreement. The White House sees Meloni, a steadfast ally, as a critical bridge to the 27-member EU, particularly for negotiating a “bespoke” trade framework tailored to mutual benefit.

An administration official noted, “President Trump will simply focus on how Italy’s marketplace can be opened up, but also how they can help us with the rest of Europe.”

The meeting, held over lunch in the Cabinet Room, built on a prior encounter between the two leaders at the Notre Dame Cathedral reopening in Paris last December.

Thursday’s discussions marked their first policy-focused exchange in Washington, covering not only trade but also defense, Ukraine’s reconstruction, and collaboration in space and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. Meloni’s role as a “valuable interlocutor” was echoed by officials, who praised her ability to navigate complex European dynamics.

Trump likely pressed the need for European nations to bolster defense spending in response to Russian threats. Meloni, addressing reporters, affirmed Europe’s commitment, stating, “Europe, as you know, is committed to do more, is working on tools to allow and help the [NATO] member states in increasing the defense spending. And we are convinced that everyone has to do more.”

Energy exports emerged as another focal point, with Trump pitching Italy as a key partner in expanding American energy markets. “President Trump aims to unleash American energy exports to the rest of the world,” an official shared, highlighting Italy’s potential role in this ambitious agenda.

Trump’s Economic Reset Through Tariffs

President Trump’s approach to trade, particularly his tariff strategy, reflects a bold vision to revitalize the American economy. By pausing the “Liberation Day” tariffs for 90 days, Trump aims to create a window for negotiation, encouraging allies like Italy to engage in fair and reciprocal trade practices.

His administration views tariffs as a tool to level the playing field, ensuring that American workers and businesses are not disadvantaged by imbalanced trade policies.

The tariff strategy is part of a larger plan to stimulate domestic manufacturing and job creation. By imposing or threatening tariffs, Trump seeks to incentivize foreign nations to open their markets to American goods, particularly in sectors like agriculture, technology, and energy.

This approach, administration officials argue, will reduce the U.S. trade deficit and strengthen economic sovereignty, fostering a self-reliant economy capable of competing globally.

Moreover, Trump’s tariff policy is designed to spark a renaissance in American industry. By encouraging companies to relocate production to the U.S., the administration hopes to rebuild supply chains disrupted by decades of globalization. This reset, paired with increased energy exports, aims to position the U.S. as a dominant economic force, with allies like Italy playing a pivotal role in amplifying American influence in European markets.

As negotiations with Meloni and other European leaders unfold, Trump’s tariff-driven economic vision will likely face scrutiny and resistance. Yet, his administration remains steadfast, betting that strategic trade policies will not only reshape bilateral relationships but also redefine America’s place in the global economy for decades to come.
