After the meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky , Giorgia Meloni also met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "We must be good at this stage not to divide the West because it would be disastrous for everyone," said the Prime Minister at the end of the summit on Ukraine. "What we know and what we share and what we have shared today is that ultimately we all share the same goal, Italy shares it, Europe shares it, NATO shares it, the United States shares it and it is to reach a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. Then we need to discuss how."
On the clash between Zelensky and Donald Trump, Meloni gives her version: «I found Zelensky sorry, as I think all the protagonists. And I am also very sorry for what happened, it is not useful at this stage to give in to fanfare . We need to look at the common goal and, perhaps, foreign policy with more depth». On the American side, however, she adds: «I have the perception that the US wants peace and quickly, and that after that there is no turning back».
Among the issues addressed, also that of duties: "We are very worried, we are an exporting nation we all realize that it would be a problem because if there were duties the EU would respond", says Meloni. " It would be an escalation that weakens us all, I believe that solutions can be found on this too that are not of rupture but of agreement. We speak with a dealer who reasons about agreements, we must reason about agreements".
After today's summit in London, a new direct confrontation in the United States between Meloni and Trump is also possible: « I think that at a certain point I will go to the White House, it is not yet scheduled but sooner or later we will go ».
