Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told European leaders behind closed doors at an EU summit that opposing US leader Donald Trump was a "bad idea." This is reported by Politico, citing sources, writes UNN.

According to the publication's interlocutors, Meloni argued to her EU colleagues that Europe could lose everything in the event of a conflict with Trump.
Instead, the Italian prime minister urged Europeans to "remain calm and not write Trump off as crazy or unpredictable," as anonymous officials said about him earlier this year.
"EU leaders convened an emergency summit in response to Trump's threat to hit eight European countries with tariffs for opposing his demand to take control of Greenland. The crisis in transatlantic relations dominated discussions in Brussels and other European capitals, and leaders gathered for dinner on Thursday to try to chart a strategy for the future," Politico emphasizes.
Recall
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that the country will not immediately join Trump's "Peace Council" project. The reason is the inconsistency of certain provisions with Italian legislation and the need for parliamentary approval.
