After meetings in D.C., JD Vance joined Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for an Easter lunch in Rome. Meloni, who praised her "fantastic" White House meeting, reaffirmed her support for Trump’s stance against "woke ideology." Trump, who has been critical of the EU, made an exception for Meloni, his only invited EU leader in January. Meloni is pushing for U.S. tariffs on the EU to be reduced, promising increased gas purchases and Italian investments in the U.S. Trump accepted her invitation to meet European leaders in Rome, but no date has been set.

00:00You could have called me a jerk and I wouldn't know, but it would be in the most beautiful language imaginable.
00:08And so we are proud to have this special relation with U.S.
00:12And so we are proud to have this special relation with U.S. and with this administration.
00:19Great. Well, thank you, Prime Minister Maloney. It's wonderful to see you again.
00:23And I hope that's exactly what you said.
00:25Of course, you could have called me a jerk and I wouldn't know,
00:27but it would be in the most beautiful language imaginable.
00:30And so I wouldn't even get offended.
00:32But I appreciate our friendship both between our nations, but also between us personally.
00:36And certainly the president sends his best regards to you, but to the people of Italy.
00:40I couldn't help as I drove around these streets.
00:44We arrived this morning with my wife and our three young children.
00:47We're looking forward to spending Easter here.
00:49But this is a place that was built by people that love humans and love God.
00:56And the streets, the buildings, the beautiful landscape and cityscape, I think it really lifts up the human spirit.
01:02So we're going to have some good conversations, but I also take some inspiration from being in this beautiful city filled with wonderful people.
01:08And so we're grateful to you and, of course, to the people of Rome, the people of Italy for their friendship and also for their warm welcome.
01:14We have a couple of important issues to discuss today.
01:17I want to update the prime minister on some of the negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, and also some of the things that have happened.
01:23Even in the past 24 hours, we think we have some interesting things to report on, of course, in private.
01:28So the negotiations, I won't prejudge them, but we do feel optimistic that we can hopefully bring this war, this very brutal war, to a close.
01:35I also, of course, want to talk to the prime minister about some of the economic relationships, very important between Italy and the United States.
01:41But, of course, we're having some big trade negotiations between not just Italy and the United States, but the whole European Union.
01:47We talked a great deal about that yesterday with the president, and we'll follow up on those conversations today.
01:51But most of all, just thrilled to be in the presence of a dear friend in a beautiful place with great people.
01:56So thank you for having me.
01:57Thank you very much.
01:58Thanks.
