Meloni: No Regrets Over Political Investments for Western Unity

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni declared she has "absolutely no regrets" about her political actions, especially concerning her commitment to Western unity. Speaking at a press conference in Ankara following a NATO summit, Meloni addressed her political investments and strategies.

Meloni emphasized that her stance on Western unity was a matter of conviction, not a reaction to Donald Trump's potential political resurgence. "I made a political investment out of conviction for the unity of the West, I have claimed it 360 degrees," she stated. This strategy, she explained, was not new and had been applied with various interlocutors.

She acknowledged that specific affinities on certain political issues with Donald Trump could potentially simplify interactions. However, she reiterated that her broader commitment to Western solidarity predated and extended beyond any specific relationship with Trump, indicating a consistent foreign policy approach.

Meloni declined to comment further on Trump's past statements, adhering to her earlier decision not to revisit the topic. Her remarks underscored her confidence in her past decisions and her dedication to maintaining a strong Western alliance.

For what concerns the post of Trump I said that I would not return to this topic and I will not return to this topic. As for political investment, I absolutely do not regret anything I have done. I made a political investment out of conviction for the unity of the West, I have claimed it 360 degrees, it is not a strategy that I put in place with the arrival of Donald Trump. I did it with all the interlocutors I found in front of me, clearly with Donald Trump there were affinities, there are affinities on some issues of politics, for which clearly I believed that it could be simpler.
