Meloni is confronted today with the “impossible mission” of mediating with Trump in the middle of the commercial war

Giorgia Meloni wants to take advantage of his ideological coordination with Donald Trump and his proximity with Elon Musk to strengthen his negotiating capacity. Although it does not have a formal European mandate, Meloni intends to propose the mutual elimination of industrial rates with the European Union, an initiative that has the support of the community leader. However, this position is not unanimous among EU members.

Meloni’s visit is produced at a time of a 90 -day break in the 20% rates on the EU. Alberto Vannucci, a professor at the University of Pisa, describes the journey as an invasion of “A Moled Field”, where Trump’s decisions seem to be based more based on “grilling and moods” than on strategies.

The role that Meloni takes on will be crucial. If it focuses exclusively on Italian interests, its success seems unlikely, because Trump has made it clear that he regards Europe as a single conversation partner. Vannucci suggests that a “counterewight” strategy, similar to that of the president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, with his visit to China, could be more effective.

Meloni has one “Attractive Bazas” For Trump, according to Gabriela Natalizia from the University of La Sapienza de Rome. These include support for a larger purchase of American liquid natural gas and the possibility that some of the safe funds, aimed at the joint purchase of military equipment, will end in the United States.

Meloni’s mission is developing in a complex geopolitical context, characterized by tensions within the EU and the efforts of China to approach Europe. The EU faces the challenge of showing itself as a unique discussion partner, but the internal departments are clear and weakened his negotiating position.
