Trump met Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a high-stakes trade summit amid escalating tensions with the EU. Trump stunned observers by announcing a “100% EU Tariff Deal,” signaling a dramatic shift in transatlantic trade policy. The move, hailed as a game-changer by Trump allies, could trigger major economic ripples across the Atlantic. Meloni remained tight-lipped on details, fueling speculation about secret concessions.

00:00Well, you think there won't be it? Of course, there'll be a trade deal very much.
00:03They want to make one very very much and we're going to make a trade deal.
00:08I fully expect it, but it'll be a fair deal.
00:10Are they on your priority list?
00:12Everybody's on my priority list.
00:15We're moving along on trade very well.
00:17The United States was ripped off and taken advantage of by every country in the world practically.
00:23I mean, I have to say practically, but just about everyone.
00:26That's not going to happen anymore, but we're going to make fair deals.
00:29Biden allowed every country in the world to rip off the United States, and I'm here
00:34to save our country.
00:36The only European Union still believe that the United States is a reliable trade partner.
00:42Well, I'm here exactly to work, to make the West stronger, for I believe in the West unity,
00:50and I think simply we have to talk and find ourselves —
00:53She believes in the president.
00:54She believes in the president.
00:56And find ourselves in the best middle way to grow together.
01:03That's where — that's why I'm here.
01:05If I wouldn't think it's a reliable partner, I wouldn't be here.
01:10We have a very good relationship.
01:12Together, and as countries, we have a very good relationship.
01:15To follow up, Mr. President, what if there is not a trade deal with the EU by the time
01:20of the end of your 90-day pause on reciprocal years?
01:23There'll be a trade deal, 100 percent.
01:24Mr. President?
01:25Well, you think there won't be a — of course there'll be a trade deal.
01:28Very much — they want to make one very, very much.
01:31And we're going to make a trade deal.
01:33I fully expect it.
01:34But it'll be a fair deal.
01:35Are they on your priority list?
01:37Everybody's on my priority list.
01:39Mr. President, do you plan to meet with the president of the EU?
01:43Say it.
01:44Do you plan to meet with —
01:45Wait, wait, wait.
01:46One at a time, please.
01:47No, no.
01:48First — no, no.
01:49You and then we'll —
01:50Do you plan to meet with the president of the EU or so along the line?
01:53Do you plan to have other meetings with the EU for years as well?
01:56Many.
01:57We had a meeting yesterday with Japan.
01:58As you know, we've had numerous talks.
02:01Very, very — at the highest level, frankly, with other countries.
02:04Yeah, we're doing very well.
02:05And we're moving along on trade very well.
02:08The United States was ripped off and taken advantage of by every country in the world, practically.
02:14I mean, I have to say practically, but just about everyone.
02:17That's not going to happen anymore.
02:18But we're going to make fair deals.
02:20The Press.
02:21Mr. President, President, given talks with Japan and Italy this week, do you expect to announce an initial trade deal with any of these countries by next week?
02:30At a certain point, yeah.
02:31We're in no rush.
02:32We're in no rush.
02:33We're in no rush.
02:34You have to understand, we're getting right now 25 percent on cars, 25 percent on steel, 25 percent on aluminum.
02:42We're getting a 10 percent baseline.
02:44We took that down just because it was, you know, the appropriate thing to do until we decide what the number will be.
02:49And we're, you know, taking in a lot of money, which we've never done before, frankly.
02:55With Biden, we were losing a fortune on trade.
02:58But we're, you know, we're moving along very nicely and we're going to end up with a baseline of a substantial number, which we never got anything.
03:07You know, the United States never got anything until I came along.
03:11And then I put very substantial tariffs on China, if you remember.
03:15And we took in hundreds of billions of dollars.
03:17But then we had a rigged election and it was just one of those little things.
03:22And it got away from us because Biden allowed every country in the world to rip off the United States.
03:29And I'm here to save our country.
03:31Mr. President, on China?
03:32On China, Mr. President.
03:33You said that you have China.
03:34Yeah, please.
03:35You said in the past that you aren't worried about allies growing closer to China as a result of your tariffs.
03:42And this week we saw Chinese President Xi Jinping visit with three of our allies.
03:46Should you be worried that they're growing closer?
03:48No.
03:49No.
03:50No.
03:51Mr. President, will you pick up the phone?
03:53Nobody can compete with us.
03:55Nobody.
03:56You said they have a relationship with President Xi.
03:58Why not pick up the phone and call him and make a deal?
04:00Oh, we're going to make a deal.
04:01We'll have a deal.
04:02I think we have a —
04:03Mr. President?
04:04I think we're going to make a very good deal with China.
04:05Do you pledge to reach out to him and call him?
04:07I think that you will see we'll make a very good deal with China.
04:10Mr. President Trump, Mr. President, you told me he was avoiding Marine One a couple of months ago.
04:15I like her very much regarding Prime Minister George Orwell.
04:19Will she be the one to mediate your relationship with Europe?
04:23Do you think?
04:24Well, I do like her very much.
04:25I think she's a great Prime Minister.
04:26I think she's doing a fantastic job in Italy.
04:29We're very proud of her.
04:30I knew her right from the beginning.
04:32I knew her as a very early Prime Minister.
04:35And I knew she had great talent.
04:37She's one of the real leaders of the world.
04:39And I'm very proud to be with her.
04:42I can't do better than that, right?
04:45Yes.
04:46That's what I do.
04:48Okay, we can close the press conference.
04:51We should end the press conference.
