Italy's Meloni on Europe-US clash over Greenland:

There has been a problem of understanding and communication.

It is necessary to resume dialogue and avoid an escalation; that is what I am working on.

It is very important to talk to each other and very important to avoid an escalation.

NEW: 20 members defected from Israel-backed Hikmat al-Hijri’s National Guard militias in Suwayda and were transferred to Damascus.

Italy's Meloni on Europe-US clash over Greenland:

That was not the intention—the actors that cause concern for everyone are others.
