Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Monday she would not support any decision by President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. troops from Italy.
"It is a decision that doesn't depend on me and one that I personally would not agree with," Meloni told reporters in Yerevan, Armenia, on the sidelines of a European Political Community summit.
Asked whether Washington would consider pulling its troops out of Italy and Spain, Trump last week answered "probably".
Meloni added she would likely meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is due to travel to Rome later this week for talks, including a meeting with Pope Leo.

Not your call, Meloni.
Wanna bet? It’s that way with all women. Guess what their trump is?
No one cares what she supports. We’ve spent my tax dollars on Europe’s defense throughout my entire working life and for decades before that. Enough.
That’s just funny.
Up yours! (so to speak) Get your sh— together. You don’t stand a chance without US troops.
This IS why we are Americans.
Mussolini would have.
She said that it’s not her call, just her personal preference. Personally, I think she’s sending a message that she’ll cooperate.
Italy’s getting their just desserts for what they did to Ethiopia in 1935.
Out of NATO, out of the UN. Enough is enough. Let Europe defend Europe with European blood and European money.
She and the rest of Europe want the money. The big AND is knowing you kill our soldiers, we will kill you back with extreme prejudice. It’s like having a body guard that you can kick around. Fthat.
Pull Sixthflt HQ out of Naples.
TOUGH TOENAILS, MEL!
I don’t think it’s entirely the troops, it’s the advanced weapons and intelligence our troops have at their disposal which is far better than the euro trash can muster. Without US hardware all the major NATO players are second and third tier players.
It’s not up to her to make the call.
They don’t want to pay to play. Eff them. You want some? Show me the money.
YOUR MILITARY OUR COUNTRY!
Is that right? ROFL. Good luck with that.
Every single one of our best & brightest and every piece of equipment should be withdrawn from those countries that didn't "allow" us to use the airstrips and facilities WE BUILT in their country and we should watch Europe burn as far as I'm concerned.
F 'em.
