Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni flew to Florida to meet with President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday, as the key European leader sought to buttress ties with Trump before his inauguration on Jan. 20.
Members of Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort welcomed Meloni with applause after an introduction by the president-elect, according to videos shared on social media by reporters and others.
Her trip comes days before she is to meet U.S. President Joe Biden during a visit to Rome from Thursday to Jan. 12.
While no details of their meeting have been disclosed, Meloni had planned to talk with Trump about Russia's war in Ukraine, trade issues, the Middle East and the plight of an Italian journalist detained in Tehran, according to Italian media reports.

Giorgia is my favorite Euro leader. Who doesn’t love a fiesty Italiana? Dollars to doughnuts, she’s a helluva cook too.
Italian Collusion!!!!!
She is pretty.
A ploy to nab fauci?
“Italian Collusion!!!!!”
Yeah, President-elect Trump intends to fly to Italy before his sentencing date of January 10, 2025! (/s)
The Democrats just never stop with their dirty tricks
“Trump and Meloni then sat down for a screening of a documentary questioning the criminal investigations and legal scrutiny faced by John Eastman, a former Trump lawyer who was central to Trump’s unsuccessful efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.”
They never quit. Reuters is as bad as AP. They never quit telling the lies that support their agenda.
Who do I write to on here to complain about your ethnically insensitive comment stereotyping Italians as of course being good cooks?
Speaking of which, OMG my grandmother who was from Naples could cook INSANELY delicious meals...everything from scratch!
And my Aunt Mary, who used to call me “mommy”, she said “hi mommy!” could makee things I have never seen made anywhere else except a few Italian run Italian restaurants on Staten Island.
She got arrested for bookmaknig one time on Carroll street in brookly. I saw the cops take her and her two sons away.
She cursed the cops in Italian and said it was wrong that she wasn’t allowed to make a living :)
The older son, who was already in his 40s or 50s, went away for 3 years later on.
I forget where they told me he was :)
My grandma grated hard italian bread for the crumbs for the meatballs...my mom made home made pizza and cavatelli....even my sisters...wow what a Feast of the Seven Fishes they put on this year for christmas Eve.
Hmm...I think I just ethnically stereotyped my own people about 15 times in 2 paragraphs :)
Awwww. She clearly likes our president. Body language is the tell. Probably glad she won’t have to babysit the current drooler in chief anymore.
What a great family to grow up in, and a fantastic family to grow older in. May you all set records for longevity.
I bet Prince William is chomping at the bit to come to Mar a Lago. Wonder if he will come to inauguration.
Leaders of the world continue traveling to Mar Lago hoping to speak with Donald Trump. Near everyone except The Pope has come to call. I suspect each visit is being filmed and stored for later reference.
You should be proud.
If I had to be a different ethnicity than what I am, I’d choose Italian — no doubt about it.
I’m so jealous.
Nice pic - thanks Liz!

“My grandma grated hard italian bread for the crumbs for the...” My Mom and Pop came from the Abbruzzi portion of Italy in the early 1900’s and did the same things your grandma did. It was a hoot watching her prepare large Italian meals the old way, when new ‘tools’ were available. DM
Your family sounds like mine, except for the part about the arrest and prison time. Sorry to hear that! Most people where I grew up played the numbers.
Calling you “mommy” was what older Italian women did. They were training us to say “mommy.”
