Melons: "On NATO we respect the commitments but we establish the ways". "With the USA I don’t…

We respect our commitments but we establish the methods. The Prime Minister declared it, Giorgia Meloniin a press conference at the end of the summit of Nato. “We clearly want to respect the commitments, we will do it, and we are already doing it, but we also want to do it in a sustainable way, that is, by establishing the times ourselves, establishing the waysestablishing priorities based on the context, based on our possibilities. However, we are convinced that it is absolutely necessary to do so, particularly in a time like this.”

Very clear line on the basics

Specifically, Meloni explained that “As regards the thenit’s not that we have made decisions or made choices like this, one day we make one, one day we make another. We had one very clear line since the beginning of the conflict in Iran. And we maintain that line.” “We respected our commitments as serious nations always do, but after that we said that we would not participate in the attacks on Iran and we are not participating in the attacks on Iran and we will not participate in the attacks,” he added.

“I have not seen concrete results in Iran sincemilitary operation“, added Meloni. “I do not lose hope of proceeding with negotiations”, he added.

“I don’t regret anything about the US strategy”

As far as political investment is concerned, I I don’t regret anything I’ve done. I made a political investment out of conviction in the unity of the West. I claimed it 360 degrees. It’s not a strategy I implemented with the arrival of Donald Trump“, declared Meloni, in a press conference at the end of the NATO summit.
“I did it with all the interlocutors I came across. Clearly there were affinities with Donald Trump, there are affinities on some political issues, immigration, woke culture, so I clearly believed it could be simpler, things are going as we have seen, but I don’t change my mind on what the Italian interest is, because the choices I make are not choices dictated by small-scale cabotage, that is, I have a strategy in mind and that strategy is the result of what? In my opinion it is in the Italian national interest and in my opinion in the Italian and European national interest there is unity and strengthening of Western unity”, he explained.

Military aid to Kiev again from Rome

As for Ukraine, the prime minister announced that “Italy will continue with military aid. I think Minister Crosetto is making an assessment in this sense”.

“Ridiculous to say that we take away hospitals to give weapons”

For the prime minister “we must strengthen our defense and security spending, especially in the broad concept of defense and security. Clearly we need to do it with a balance because the only thing I will not do, and that I am not willing to do, is take away resources from other chapters that I consider equally important, so this instrumental accusation that is made of an Italy that closes hospitals to buy tanks is ridiculous, ridiculous. For me it is an insurmountable limit”.
