Font size

Before leaving for Alabama, Donald Trump, speaking to journalists, said that his relationship with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni "is very good". "I've always liked her," the tycoon responded to a question from journalists about his past attacks on the Prime Minister. The US president then praised Europe for agreeing to release large quantities from its diesel reserves. “It was exceptional,” said the tycoon, who also confirmed that he would not impose a ban on diesel exports, saying that such a measure was “never really taken into consideration”.

The disagreements between Trump and Meloni

The disagreements between Trump and Meloni had worsened in recent months, especially over the war in Iran and Italy's role in the Strait of Hormuz: the US president had accused the Italian prime minister of not having sufficiently supported the American position. In June, Trump had also personally attacked Meloni, contesting her behavior at the G7, defining her as a fan looking for a photo with him. The prime minister had rejected the accusations, but tried to avoid repercussions on relations between Rome and Washington.

Giorgetti announces budget deviation of 28 billion for energy and defense, deficit above 3% in 2027-2028

Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti announced a budget gap of around 28 billion over two years, equally divided between energy and defence, with spending on weapons reduced by 7 billion compared to previous forecasts. The Public Finance Policy Document raises the forecast deficit to 3.4% in 2027 and 3.3% in 2028, although net of the deviation it remains below 3%. The maneuver was born in a complex context marked by inflation, rates and uncertainty about the future leadership of the ECB, with Giorgetti calling for prudence and clarity on Lagarde. The parliamentary vote on the deviation is scheduled for October 13th.

Schlein attacks Conte and M5s in the PD direction: 'One is worth one is not worth discussing'

Elly Schlein, secretary of the Democratic Party, harshly criticized Giuseppe Conte and the M5s during her report to the party leadership, stating that 'one is worth one' is not valid in the programmatic discussion, despite the fact that voters gave the Democratic Party double the votes of the other opposition forces. He opened primaries to choose the coalition leader, but set conditions, including support for Ukraine. Conte responded by proposing primaries and accusing Schlein of wanting to impose hegemony, while the reformists of the Democratic Party, led by Lorenzo Guerini, did not participate in the vote on the report. Franco Gabrielli has made his entry into the field official with Più Uno.
