Milan, 8 March (LaPresse) – Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni ‘always tries to help, she is an excellent leader and a friend of mine.’ This was stated by US President Donald Trump in response to a phone call from Corriere della Sera, which asked him what he thought of Italy's intervention and possible assistance in the war in light of the dispatch of ships to defend Cyprus and whether he considered this sufficient. Trump was heard briefly on the phone after the “Shield of the Americas” summit in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, with America's Central and Latin American allies. ‘I love Italy, I think she is a great leader,’ Trump said of the prime minister.
