US President Donald Trump praised Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, saying Italy is ready to support the United States and Israel in a potential conflict with Iran. The Guardian reported this on Sunday (March 8), citing Italy’s Corriere della Sera.

In a telephone interview with Corriere della Sera on Saturday, Trump called Meloni a “great leader” and said, “Italy is doing everything it can to help the United States.” He added, “I love Italy. She is a wonderful leader and my friend.”

Earlier, Meloni announced plans to send air defense equipment to Gulf countries to protect against a possible Iranian air attack.

Additionally, an Italian navy spokesman confirmed that an Italian ship is preparing to sail for Cyprus as part of a European mission to strengthen security following recent Iranian attacks.
