💨 Abstract

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni urged the EU to focus on its internal issues, such as competitiveness, tariffs, and defense, as it navigates the challenges posed by Donald Trump's return to power. Meloni sees herself as a potential ally for Trump, due to her conservative leanings. The EU leaders' meeting in Budapest will discuss competitiveness and defense spending, with Meloni advocating for more flexibility in EU fiscal rules to accommodate defense investments.
