## Resource

Italy is suddenly changing its tune — and Marco Rubio’s visit to Rome may explain why. After resistance and hesitation on NATO spending, Giorgia Meloni now appears to be reversing course on defense, Iran and even immigration just as the Trump Administration ramps up pressure on Europe to stand on its own. In this episode of The Trish Regan Show, we discuss why a stronger, more independent NATO actually fits directly into an America First strategy. The U.S. can no longer afford to subsidize Europe indefinitely while simultaneously confronting growing challenges in China, the Middle East and the Western Hemisphere. President Trump’s comments today from China make clear that Washington is focused on building new alliances and new leverage points around the globe. Meanwhile, the strategic focus is rapidly shifting closer to home. From Greenland and the Arctic to Venezuela and the future of the Western Hemisphere, the administration is making clear that America’s long-term priorities are changing fast. Join me, Trish Regan, for the latest developments, analysis and what it all means for America, NATO and the global balance of power. ✅ Help support independent journalism — become a TRISH TEAM member: ▶️ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBlMo25WDUKJNQ7G8sAk4Zw/join⁠ ✅ Get ⁠my newsletter⁠ and start investing today! ⁠Https://76research.com⁠ Today’s Sponsors: https://BalanceofNature.com USE CODE: Trish for additional 10% off Learn more about your ad choices.
