Divorce Italian style: Meloni-Trump row bringing Europe closer together? Trump’s Influence on Europe: A Shift in Politics? Italy’s Stance on Operation Epic Fury Some European leaders, such as the Nato Secretary-General, still seem to be under the influence of former US President Trump, with the Secretary-General recently stating that Italy had allowed 500 US planes to take off from bases as part of Operation Epic Fury. However, this claim has raised questions about the Italian prime minister’s earlier statements regarding her country’s involvement in the campaign against Iran. A Change in Italy’s EU Relations Italy’s prime minister, Meloni, appears to be shifting her country’s stance towards a more pro-EU approach, mending previously testy relations with neighboring France. This newfound friendship will be on full display at an upcoming bilateral summit in the French Riviera town of Antibes, where Meloni will receive a red carpet welcome from French President Emmanuel Macron. What’s Behind the Shift? The reason behind this shift in Italy’s politics is unclear, but it may be related to the upcoming elections in both France and Italy in 2027. Is this the end of the European far-right’s admiration for Trump’s “Maga” ideology? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the European political landscape is changing, and leaders are adapting to the new reality.
