ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “As for our relations with the United States, they are always solid relationships. As for my relationship with Donald Trump, there is nothing special that I am doing right now.” So the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, at a press point at the margin of the informal EU summit in Cyprus. “Putin in the G20? I think this is the time when we are asking Putin to take a few steps forward and not us to do it against him. We, but especially the Americans in these months have taken several steps towards Russia and on the other hand we have not seen as much progress,” he added.
“The Germans are certainly also aware of how difficult the situation is facing. There is certainly the will to meet, that is, to find solutions that can suit everyone. Clearly I understand the diversity, the difficulties and the constitutional constraints that others have, like others try to meet those that are the Italian specificities: at some point we must find ourselves. I do not find a closure, everyone understands that when the problem is impacted even on some Member States, as our economies are interconnected also comes to others, that they all understand. It also starts from positions that are slightly distant, but you are trying to approach,” he explained.
“I do not see positively” the tension between Spain and the United States on NATO, “I think NATO should remain united” and that “it is necessary to work to strengthen NATO and strengthen the European column, which must be complementary to the American one”.
