ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “It is not realistic that the United States invade Greenland militarily, clearly we all understand what the consequences of such a choice are.” Thus the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, during the “Special Door to Door – 30 years of our life”. “It didn’t amaze me” that Trump said that he excludes the military option, “I’m glad that he reiterated it and that he put it black on white, after which you have to look for solutions. In the past few weeks some European countries have decided to send soldiers for training in Greenland, this has been read by the American administration as an attack on Americans. I think it was the attempt to respond to a need that Americans also pose: It is the reason why I called Donald Trump and told him ‘I believe that he did not understand and I believe that it is a mistake to predict or threaten to add duties to those nations that had made this choice, but there is a part of these problems that is mainly given by an absence of communication that must be restored”.
“In general, I am worried about what happens on international politics, I deal with it a lot and not just about the statements that a leader can make, but because objectively we are in a historical context in which all the certainties that we were convinced to have are fading or risking to fade away and know how to districate in such a historical era for a girl from the Garbatella who finds herself to take responsibility, is not an easy thing. I am worried these days that there is again a very tense situation between the United States and Europe, I believe that there is no difference between Europe and the United States, certainly does not suit Italy,” he added.
“I’m challenged to be a person who tries to lower the tension, solve the problem, find agreements and I’m told that I’m too supportive because I try to do what is in the Italian national interest: It is not clear to me what the alternative would be, when it is said that we must react strongly. As we are talking about foreign policy and we are not discussing in a committee, I must also say what the proposal is made: do we want to break alliances with our historical allies? Do we want to close the American bases in Italy? Want to get out of NATO? Because in foreign policy the choices have consequences – said the Premier – I am convinced that the tones are lowered and that they must seek solutions, but this does not mean that my attitude is remissive: when there was the question of duties in Europe I believe that no one has beaten Donald Trump as the subscribed, I am that I worked to find an agreement and others preferred an escalation, for the Italian interest. For Greenland is the same thing: I do what is right for our nation,” he says.
“It is obvious that to do what is right for our nation and to be respected there is also need to say in the face things as they are and I guarantee that no one can say that I am not a person who does not say things as he thinks. I am respected for this,” he concluded.
SUL BORD OF PEACE PER GAZA: “SIAMO APERTI E DISPONIBILI, MA SERVE TEMPO”
On the Board of peace for Gaza “the position of Italy is open; we are open, available and interested, for at least two reasons. I have explained this many times: I think Italy can play a unique role in the realization of the peace plan for the Middle East and in the construction of the perspective of the two States. And then because, in general, I would not consider a smart choice on the part of Italy, and not even on the part of Europe, that of self-exclusion in an organism that is still interesting. For us there is a constitutional problem of compatibility, from reading the statute it emerged that there are some elements that are incompatible with our Constitution and this does not allow us to sign surely tomorrow. We need more time, there is a job that needs to be done, but my position definitely remains an opening position.”.
