Italy says it will seize two migrant rescue ships in the Mediterranean, amid a deepening row over migrants.
Two German NGO ships carrying migrants "will be seized" to determine their legal status.
The move comes as French President Emmanuel Macron attacked the "leprosy" of anti-EU feeling, angering Italy's new populist government.
Italy sparked the fresh row earlier this month when it refused to take in the Aquarius rescue ship....
Leaders from the 10 EU member states will meet in Brussels on Sunday to discuss how best to stem the flow of migrants into the bloc.
The Italian government earlier said it will not sign up to any EU plan unless it makes helping Italy a priority, while Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary-known as the Visegrad Group-said they will boycott the talks....
In a speech in Brittany, Mr. Macron said anti-EU feeling was rising "a bit like a leprosy across Europe", including in "neighboring countries".....
Deputy Italian Prime Minister and leader of the Five Star movement Luigi DiMaio tweeted in Italian that Mr. Macron's words were "offensive and misplaced", saying that "true leprosy" is when countries turn back migranrs and then "preach to us" about calls for them to be redistributed to other EU states......

MIGA.
Salvini should be invited to the WH, flown down to Maralago on AF1, play a round with our VSGPOTUS, and then the press conference.
Italy is being made great again. Go Salvini!
We’ll see how much testicular fortitude Italy has when the EU allows an Italian bank or two to fail...
And you know this how?
Act of war? Not if this is just a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing, a show of pretend strength to appease the masses.
“They have land, they have seeds, they have manpower, why in the name of God, do they have to travel thousands of miles instead of making their countries livable and comfortable.”
Because they get to lay around and live off of someone else. Oh, and there’s white women to rape.
Might not be the best use of his time right now. He is going around from city to city talking up the popular coalition and doing a great job of it, while defending Italy’s recent actions on the migrant front.
Since the whole thrust is the Italian culture and identity, I don’t think they need the big dog America right now. The situation in the Middle East is different, where all the countries are choosing sides and an alliance with Trump is desirable.
And by the way, making comparisons with the fascists because he is going after Roma who are illegally there (not the legal ones) is ridiculous. He is stressing all colors, all nations, and the people are cheering.
And maybe he even did that so the other side would bring it up and he could refute it.
Invite him anyway, an open invite. Let him choose when. It gives him a lot of political capital. Validate his government. Send Pompeo over in the mean time. Have the US validate him. Hell send Wilburine to help them craft an Iexit. Hell, call Abe, MBS and wait for it

Un and have an economic development summit in Tuscany.
“They have land, they have seeds, they have manpower, why in the name of God, do they have to travel thousands of miles instead of making their countries livable and comfortable.”
free handouts. it’s easier than planting those seeds.
same reason we are invaded
The scum of the turd world continue their quest to kill the civilized world. Will they win this war on the civilized west?
Salvini need more than political capital. He needs the filthy lucre variety. Until Italy is willing to live within its means, the EU is more likely to kick Italy out than Italy is to leave. The citizenry is allowing itself to be suckered.
Macron is in the closet.
“STAY THE HELL HOME. THERE IS NO NEED FOR FOREIGNERS TO LEAVE HOME!”
This is also what the American Indians said to the Spanish visitors some hundreds of years ago.””
Invalid comparison. The Spanish brought western civilization, an end to child sacrifice, and a monumental advance in science, language, and an elevation of a very primitive lifestyle.
Make Italy Great Again (MIGA)
You know, you are right.
We should all go home.
Yeah...the Navy submariners would give a months pay to be able to torpedo them!
