Italian PM Meloni Celebrates Vance's Speech To Europe CPAC. Giorgia Meloni delivered a compelling address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., expressing strong support for President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

"Vice President Vance was discussing something deeper identity, democracy, a freedom of speech. In short, Europe's historic role and mission. Many pretended to be outraged, calling for European pride against an American daring to lecture us. Well, let me tell you, as someone who is proud to be European. First, if those who were outraged had shown the same pride when Europe lost its strategic autonomy tying its economy to autocratic regimes or when European borders and our way of life were trapped by mass illegal migration, now we would live in a stronger Europe. CPAC packed understood. CPAC understood before many others that the political and cultural battle for conservative values is not just an American battle, it is a Western battle."
