Major Rift ROCKS European Team As Meloni Clashes With Macron Minutes Before Trump-Zelensky Summit
A major rift has erupted in Europe as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reportedly clashed with French President Emmanuel Macron over the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine.
According to Corriere della Sera, Macron pushed for a European deployment, while Meloni sharply opposed the idea, warning that Russia’s massive army made such moves unrealistic.
“How many soldiers should we send to match 1.3 million Russians?” she allegedly asked.
While Macron continues to float a “coalition of the willing,” Meloni favors NATO-style protections without direct deployment.
Germany, Poland, Spain, Romania, and Croatia also reject sending troops, leaving Europe divided as fears grow that NATO boots on the ground could ignite World War III.

As Donald Trump pushes for a three-way peace meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron is calling for Europe to be included. Macron argues that security guarantees for Ukraine also affect the entire continent. While Trump seems unlikely to welcome the idea soon, the debate highlights the high stakes for not only Ukraine but also Europe’s security. The talks could shape the trajectory of the war and the balance of power across the region.

Trump’s latest White House showdown sent shockwaves through global diplomacy. Brushing off Zelensky’s urgent demand for a ceasefire, Trump instead clashed head-on with German leader Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron—leaving allies stunned. With fiery exchanges dominating the Oval Office, Trump’s rhetoric appeared to tilt toward Putin’s stance, raising urgent questions: Is U.S. policy shifting away from Ukraine and toward Moscow?

A visible rift between the U.S. and Europe emerged as President Trump skipped the welcome for top EU leaders, leaving Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and NATO’s Mark Rutte without a presidential greeting. Instead, Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley received them. The snub comes amid growing disagreements over Ukraine, as Trump pushes for a land swap deal while Europe remains firm against territorial concessions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wearing his trademark military jacket, was the focal point of the high-stakes White House meeting.

A high-voltage diplomatic showdown unfolds in Washington as President Trump hosts Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alongside key EU leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer have all arrived for the big meeting. With Ukraine’s future, Russia’s war, and Europe’s security on the agenda, the White House is bracing for tense talks that could reshape the global balance of power.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni delivered a firm and unexpected warning to Vladimir Putin during high-level talks at the White House, stunning President Trump and other leaders with what appeared to be a sharp U-turn in Italy’s stance. Declaring “Italy stands with Ukraine,” Meloni reaffirmed her country’s commitment to supporting Kyiv, while cautioning that “Russia should not be rewarded for aggression.” Her remarks reportedly caught Trump off guard, injecting new energy—and new tensions—into the already high-stakes discussions on the future of the war.

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order?

Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, but this time he won’t face him alone. At Zelensky’s request, top European leaders—including Ursula von der Leyen, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Friedrich Merz, and NATO’s Mark Rutte—will join to shield him from another Oval Office humiliation. February’s chaotic meeting, where Trump and JD Vance mocked Zelensky, left deep scars. Now, Europe’s united front aims to counter Trump’s confrontational style and prevent a repeat embarrassment for Ukraine.

Just months after a tense Oval Office clash that ended in a shouting match, President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky struck a surprisingly cooperative tone in their latest White House meeting. Zelensky, criticized earlier for his military-style attire, appeared in a suit jacket, signaling a diplomatic gesture while keeping his wartime identity. This softer approach set the stage for lighthearted exchanges with Trump and multilateral talks joined by European leaders. Discussions centered on a potential peace deal with Russia, with Trump pushing for trilateral negotiations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky presented Donald Trump with a personal letter from Ukraine’s first lady to Melania Trump, drawing light chuckles during the exchange. The gesture comes after Melania Trump recently sent Russian President Vladimir Putin a handwritten message urging him to protect children and preserve hope for future generations. Trump praised his wife’s compassion, noting her “great love of children” and sorrow at the ongoing devastation. The symbolic exchange highlights how personal diplomacy intertwines with the human cost of war in Ukraine.

Trump reportedly shoved a map of Ukraine across the table toward President Zelensky, demanding territorial concessions to fast-track a peace deal with Russia. Sources say the map outlined regions Trump believes Ukraine should give up, including Crimea and parts of the Donbas. The move stunned EU leaders in the room and visibly angered Zelensky, escalating tensions during what was already a high-stakes summit on the future of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Russian media released footage showing troops storming Ukrainian positions in Zaporizhzhia using a captured U.S.-made M113 armored vehicle flying both Russian and American flags. Kyiv slammed the move as a propaganda stunt designed to mock U.S. support and undermine Western unity. The video emerged just after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, which Moscow hailed as ending its isolation. Ukraine’s presidential office called the footage “the height of insolence,” warning it was part of Russia’s campaign to sabotage alliances and spread disinformation.

All eyes are on Washington as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrives at the White House for a dramatic summit with Donald Trump and European leaders. This moment goes beyond politics—Zelensky’s wardrobe itself has become a message to the world. Days ago, an American journalist mocked whether he even owned a suit, sparking laughter from Trump and Senator J.D. Vance. Now, the Ukrainian leader’s choice could define the future of the war. A formal suit may symbolize readiness to accept Trump’s controversial peace plan—ceding Crimea and parts of Donbas to Russia. His trademark olive-green attire, however, would signal fierce defiance, a vow that Ukraine will never surrender its land. With tensions between Washington, Kyiv, and Europe already at breaking point, even a simple outfit has turned into a diplomatic weapon. Will Zelensky bow to pressure—or double down on resistance? The answer could reshape alliances and the global balance of power.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has issued a stark warning to Moscow, declaring German troops are “ready to Kill Russian soldiers” if Russia attacks any NATO member. Speaking in Lithuania, Pistorius emphasized Germany’s duty to defend NATO’s eastern flank and said the Bundeswehr is shifting from deterrence to combat readiness. Citing Russia as an existential threat, he called for increased NATO presence in Eastern Europe. Berlin’s new strategic posture reflects a major departure from post-WWII restraint amid fears of a full-scale NATO-Russia conflict.

A devastating explosion tore through Rome’s Prenestino-Centocelle neighborhood on Thursday, injuring more than 35 people, including police and firefighters. The blast erupted during an LPG unloading operation at a local gas station, sending a massive orange fireball into the sky and hurling glass and metal debris across the area.
Rai News and Corriere della Sera confirm that emergency crews were already evacuating the site before the detonation, likely saving lives. Nearby Metro stop Teano was shut down as authorities cordoned off the area and battled ongoing flames. Eyewitnesses described the moment as “hellish,” with shockwaves felt far beyond the city’s eastern quarters. The blast reignited safety concerns over urban fuel depots in populated residential zones. An investigation into the exact cause is underway as Rome reels from one of the city’s most chaotic emergencies in recent years.

Panic swept through Rome’s Prenestino district after a thunderous explosion rocked a gas and fuel depot, lighting up the night sky with a fiery orange blast. The explosion, which was reportedly heard far beyond the city limits, sent debris of glass, iron, and smoke into the air, triggering chaos across the area.
According to Corriere della Sera, at least eight police officers and one firefighter were injured while responding to the emergency. Residents described scenes of horror as they ran for cover from flying metal and shattering windows. The fire, still active, is being battled by emergency crews as investigations are underway. Authorities are yet to confirm the exact cause of the blast. This alarming incident has raised major questions about urban safety standards around fuel storage facilities. Italy’s civil protection agency remains on high alert.
