USA is keen to cooperate with new Italian government

The US government says it is “eager” to collaborate with a new Italian government on “shared goals” now that Giorgia Meloni’s success is obvious.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Twitter listed the priorities:

  • supporting a free and independent Ukraine
  • respecting human rights
  • building a sustainable economic future

Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron says his government respects the democratic choice of Italian voters.

The European Union must continue to work together with Italy “as neighbours and friends”, the Elysée Palace said in a statement.

“It is within Europe that we will overcome our common challenges”, it added.

France’s statement shares similarities with the official line from fellow eurozone lynchpin Germany, where the government has expressed the view it expects Italy to continue to be a “very Europe-friendly country”.
