Premier Giorgia Meloni said Monday
she was attending Donald Trump's second inauguration as US
president in order to boost ties with America in the face of
global challenges.
"I think it is extremely important for a nation like Italy,
which has extremely solid relations with the United States, to
give evidence of the will to continue and, if anything,
strengthen that relationship at a time when the challenges are
global and interconnected", she said in explaining the meaning
of her presence at Trump's swearing-in before participating in a
religious service with him before the inauguration in the church
of St John in Washington.
