Merkur Meloni for immediate summit between Europe and the USA: "Every division of the West makes us all weaker" Jekaterina Jalunina • 1 hour • 3 minutes reading time After the scandal in Washington Italy's Prime Minister Meloni believes that strong leadership is necessary for a peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine. She believes that Trump stands for that. Italy's Prime Minister is considered Trump's favorite from the EU. After the scandal in the White House, she warns of a division in the West - and calls for a meeting. Rome - Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has proposed an immediate summit between Europe and the USA after the scandal in the White House. At the same time, she warned in Rome in the evening of a division in the West. Before that, a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj in Washington had led to a scandal in front of the cameras. Trump made serious accusations against the Ukrainian in the Oval Office. "Any division in the West weakens us all and favors those who want to bring about the downfall of our civilization," warned Meloni in a statement. "A division would not benefit anyone." That is why Italy is calling for a summit between the USA, the Europeans and other allies. There must be open discussions about "how we want to deal with today's major challenges, starting with Ukraine." Meloni's position on Ukraine's participation in the meeting remains unclear The statement did not indicate whether Meloni's ideas include the country attacked by Russia taking part in such a meeting. The right-wing prime minister is considered one of the most important contacts for the new US government among European heads of government. Trump has praised her several times. Meloni has already visited him twice in the past few weeks. "A new era of ruthlessness" - Baerbock shocked by incident in the White House: Reactions also came from other parts of Europe: Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) was shocked by the incident in the White House between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj. "A new era of ruthlessness has begun," said Baerbock on Saturday in Berlin "in view of the unspeakable videos from the White House." "Our horror is greater than before," she added. According to Baerbock, the incident makes it clear that "the rules-based international order and the strength of the law must be defended more than ever against the power of the stronger." "There is absolutely no question as to who is the brutal aggressor and who is the courageous defender in this war against Ukraine, who is the perpetrator and who is the victim," the minister continued. "Nobody should therefore be mistaken about the enemy. He sits alone in the Kremlin, not in Kiev or Brussels." Trump threatens Zelensky with ending US aid if Ukraine does not agree to a deal with Russia On Friday, Trump and Zelensky got into a heated discussion in the White House in front of the cameras. Trump, supported by Vice President JD Vance, accused Zelensky of not appreciating US military aid enough and of being disrespectful. At the same time, he threatened to end US support if Zelensky did not agree to a deal with Russia. The Ukrainian head of state left the White House in a dispute, and the planned agreement on raw material supplies between the USA and Ukraine was canceled.
