President-elect Donald Trump is set to meet with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after the Notre Dame reopening ceremony on Saturday. The meeting is expected to take place at a reception hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, described as a 'private pull aside' by a source familiar with the plans.
Giorgia Meloni, who was elected as the prime minister of Italy this summer, leads the most far-right government in Italy since the era of Benito Mussolini. She first entered Italy's political scene in 2006 and co-founded the Brothers of Italy party in 2012, known for its Euroskepticism and anti-immigration stance.
