On the occasion of the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Giiorgia Meloni and Donald Trump met for the first time for a brief bilateral “private” meeting, in which the Italian premier congratulated the American president on his victory last November 5, who invited Giorgia Meloni to the inauguration on January 20 on Capitol Hill.

The Italian Priime Minister is seriously considering to attend the inauguration in Washington DC. Elon Musk, also in Paris for the inauguration of the restored Notre Dame and a longtime friend of Meloni's, also dropped by for a greeting at the brief meeting.
