Melons from Trump, the (real) reason for the visit to Mar-a-Lago: what we know

It would have been the case of Cecilia Sala “the real driving force” of Giorgia Meloni’s lightning visit, kept super secret, to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump last night. This is what Adnkronos has learned from informed sources, according to which there has been an “escalation” in the last few hours, with Iran officially linking the detention of the journalist in Tehran to the arrest of Mohammed Abedini at Malpensa at the request of the United States United, to push for “an acceleration” of direct contact between the prime minister and the president-elect.

In fact, there had been talk of a mission to Florida for a few days, once it emerged that Meloni would not have gone to Washington for the inauguration at the White House on January 20thbut the timing was then dictated by the latest developments in what the “Wall Street Journal” called the “shadow war between the United States and Iran in which Italy was involved”.

Already during the night, the New York Times had quoted a source familiar with the meeting according to whom the prime minister would have “pressured aggressively” to talk about the issue.
