In the same vein, the White House said Biden also spoke by phone to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday and discussed their commitment to continue providing assistance to Ukraine.

The Meloni government is Italy’s most right-wing administration since World War Two and former close ties between Moscow and two of her coalition partners have raised concerns with NATO allies.
