Rome, March 2, 2025 – The Europe Today: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni spoke by phone with former U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday night, ahead of a European security summit where she is scheduled to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, according to media reports.
The Italian Prime Minister’s office issued a brief statement confirming the call, stating that it took place “in view of her meeting in London tomorrow with the President of Ukraine.” No further details of the conversation were disclosed.
European leaders are convening in London on Sunday for a high-level security summit, an event that has gained heightened significance following tensions between Trump and Zelenskiy during their recent meeting in Washington on Friday.
Meloni, a staunch supporter of Ukraine, has maintained strong ties with both Zelenskiy and Trump. She was the only European leader to attend Trump’s inauguration in January and has been viewed as a potential diplomatic bridge between Washington and European capitals.
Her discussions in London are expected to focus on European security, transatlantic relations, and continued support for Ukraine amid ongoing geopolitical challenges.
