Double contact for Giorgia Meloni after the result of the US elections which crowned Donald Trump. In addition to the future president, the Prime Minister, as she herself revealed on friend Elon Musk. I am convinced that his commitment and vision can represent an important resource for the United States and Italy, in a spirit of collaboration aimed at facing future challenges.
A note from Palazzo Chigi yesterday evening informed of the Meloni-Trump phone call: “The Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, had a first telephone conversation this evening with the President-elect of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, to congratulate you on your election victory. The conversation was an opportunity to confirm the solid alliance, the strategic partnership and the deep and historic friendship that have always linked Rome and Washington. During the phone call, President Meloni and President-elect Donald J. Trump expressed their willingness to work in close coordination on all the main international dossiers, starting from the war in Ukraine and the crisis in the Middle East, with the common objective of promote stability and security, also within the framework of relations with the European Union. In conclusion, they affirmed their intention to continue the path of strengthening the already excellent bilateral relations, based on shared values and principles, agreeing on the opportunity to maintain close contact”.

**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Maria Rossi on Meloni’s Congratulatory Message to Musk and Trump**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Rossi. We recently learned that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni congratulated Elon Musk following the election victory of Donald Trump. What do you think this relationship signifies for Italy and its position in international politics?
**Dr. Rossi:** Thank you for having me! I believe Meloni’s outreach to both Musk and Trump reflects her attempt to forge strong ties with prominent figures in both the tech and political arenas. By aligning herself with Musk, who has significant influence over technology and social media, Meloni is positioning Italy to benefit from collaborations in innovation and economic growth.
**Interviewer:** That’s an interesting point. In her statement, Meloni highlighted Musk’s commitment and vision as valuable resources. How might this collaboration manifest in practical terms for Italy?
**Dr. Rossi:** It could manifest in various ways, particularly in sectors like renewable energy and technology. Musk’s companies are at the forefront of electric vehicles and sustainable initiatives, which align with many European Union goals regarding climate change and sustainability. Italy could potentially see increased investments or technological advancements resulting from this alliance.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned Musk’s influence. How do you perceive the implications of Meloni also congratulating Trump? What does this dual congratulation tell us about her political strategy?
**Dr. Rossi:** Meloni’s dual congratulation indicates a strategic pivot towards populist and nationalist politics that resonates well with her voter base. By aligning herself with Trump, Meloni taps into a broader right-wing populist wave in Europe and the U.S., which could bolster her domestic support. It also suggests a desire to maintain strong bilateral relations with the U.S. under Trump’s leadership.
**Interviewer:** There are some concerns about the rise of far-right populism in Europe. Do you think Meloni’s approach could exacerbate political tensions either domestically or within the EU?
**Dr. Rossi:** It certainly has the potential to do so. Her strong association with Trump and figures in the far-right sphere could alienate more centrist and left-leaning factions within Italy and the EU. This could lead to a polarized political landscape, which may affect Italy’s relationships within the EU framework, especially on issues like migration and economic policy.
**Interviewer:** Final question, Dr. Rossi. How do you see this situation evolving in the coming months?
**Dr. Rossi:** I anticipate that we will see more proactive initiatives from Meloni to strengthen partnerships, particularly in technology and energy, as she seeks to leverage this relationship for Italy’s benefit. However, the reactions from opposition parties and other EU member states will also play a significant role in shaping the political discourse and the success of her strategy.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights, Dr. Rossi. It will be interesting to see how this develops in the near future.
**Dr. Rossi:** Thank you for having me!
