Summary

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has called for an “immediate” summit between the US, EU, and Western allies to discuss Ukraine following a heated White House meeting between Trump and President Zelenskyy.

The February 28 meeting ended without agreement on a minerals deal after escalating into a confrontation over US aid and peace deal conditions.

Meloni warned that Western division “makes us all weaker” as European leaders reaffirmed support for Ukraine.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas commented that “the free world needs a new leader,” while European allies worry about being excluded from US-Russia negotiations to end the war.

            Scholz and Merkel have their flaws, but they’re not fascist buffoons. Yep, that’s where the bar is right now.

      It’s Giorgia. Georgia is a nation fighting against a corrupt government and Russia to remain in the EU orbit and potentially entering it as a Member State, they don’t deserve being associated with a fascist.
