"This is a decision that is beyond my control and with which I personally disagree," Meloni told reporters in Yerevan on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit.

Trump's Statement

  • When asked whether Washington would consider withdrawing its troops from Italy and Spain, Trump replied last week, "Probably."

The Italian prime minister added that she is likely to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is scheduled to arrive in Rome later this week for talks, including a meeting with Pope Leo.
