Giorgia Meloni is positioning herself as mediator between Europe and President Donald Trump over Greenland, suggesting the US may have misinterpreted European moves to send troops to the Arctic island.

“The prospect of higher tariffs for those contributing to the security of Greenland is in my view a mistake and I obviously do not share that position,” the Italian prime minister told reporters in Seoul on Sunday.
