It is noted that the meeting strengthens the hopes of Maloni's supporters that the conservative Italian prime minister will become Trump's ally in Europe.
Much of that role would involve mediating tensions between other European leaders and Mr. Trump, who has threatened to start a trade war with the continent as well as reduce American support for some NATO countries and Ukraine in its war with Russia
The agenda for Saturday's meeting is not known for certain, but observers expected the two leaders to discuss the following issues.
Another possible theme, according to observers, is the detention in Iran of the well-known Italian journalist Cecilia Sala. This happened a few days after Italy arrested an Iranian suspected of supplying components for drones to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard at the request of the United States. Iran regularly detains foreigners and dual nationals to exchange them for money and people.
