Vance, Meloni Discuss Tariffs, Potential US-EU Summit
Tap title to read story
US Vice President JD Vance concluded two days of talks with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Rome, focusing on tariffs and a potential US-Europe summit during President Trump's upcoming visit. Meloni, seen as a bridge between the US and EU, seeks to balance her alignment with Trump's policies on migration and traditional values with the EU's trade interests and support for Ukraine. While Trump previously eased tariffs, further trade negotiations are ongoing. Vance also met with Vatican officials, though a meeting with Pope Francis, with whom he has past disagreements, was not scheduled.
