"Make the West Great Again"; Romfördraget
"There will be a trade deal, 100%," Trump said
Meloni said she was "sure" they could reach an agreement, adding that her aim was to "make the West great again".
The pair enjoy a good relationship and the Italian leader hopes to position herself as a bridge between the EU and the US amid fractured relations and mounting concerns about the global impact of Trump's tariffs.
The leaders said they had discussed defence spending, immigration and tariffs.
The atmosphere in the Oval Office appeared relaxed and good-natured - similar to the reception UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer received during his visit to the White House in February.
While she didn't score any tangible wins on tariffs during the meeting, she did convince Trump to accept an invitation to visit Rome, which she said would be an occasion for him to meet other European leaders.

Efter mötet säger Meloni att Trump har accepterat en inbjudan till Italien, där samtal med EU kan äga rum.
– Han kommer överväga att då träffa europeiska ledare, säger Meloni. Hon gjorde också klart att hon står bakom Trump i kampen mot politisk korrekthet, inkvotering och illegal invandring.
