US President Donald Trump has praised Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, saying that Italy is ready to help the US and Israel in a war with Iran. The Guardian reported this information in a report today (March 8) citing the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
\nIn a telephone interview with the newspaper on Saturday, Trump called Meloni a “great leader”. He said, “Italy is doing everything it can to help the United States.” Trump said of Meloni, “I love Italy. He is a great leader. He always tries to help. He is a great leader and my friend.”
\nEarlier on Thursday, Meloni said that Italy was planning to send air defense equipment to help Gulf countries in the face of a possible Iranian air attack. Meanwhile, an Italian navy spokesman said on Friday that an Italian ship was preparing to sail to Cyprus as part of a joint European mission to strengthen the island’s security after the Iranian attack.<\/p>\n
