Meloni goes savage, shuts down europe’s anti-US crowd amid Trump's Venezuela & Greenland tantrums

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni mocked calls to “distance” Italy from the United States during her New Year media briefing in Rome, jokingly asking whether critics wanted her to attack McDonald’s, close American bases, or break commercial ties — underscoring the strong ties between Rome and Washington. Speaking on foreign policy, Meloni said she doesn’t agree with everything US partners say — agreeing with Trump on Venezuela but disagreeing on Greenland — and stressed that geopolitics is more than gossip. Her remarks come amid broader debates over NATO, transatlantic relations, and global security dynamics.
