At the World Economic Forum in Davos last month, former President Donald Trump unveiled a new Peace Council aimed at resolving international conflicts, which saw the participation of leaders from 19 countries. However, participation in such an organization is complicated for Italy due to constitutional limitations. According to Italy's constitution, the nation is prohibited from joining any organization that is led by a foreign leader.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, an ally of Trump, had previously highlighted the constitutional issues that would prevent Italy from joining the council, while also suggesting that potential adjustments to the framework could accommodate not only Italy's needs but those of other European nations as well. Despite these discussions, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani seemingly dismissed the possibility of Italian participation unequivocally, asserting the constitutional blockade as a decisive barrier.

Tajani expressed in an interview with the ANSA news agency that, "We cannot participate in the Peace Council due to a constitutional restriction," emphasizing the legal hurdles as insurmountable. This defines Italy's position as one of caution and restraint in the realm of international alliances led by foreign figures, reflecting ongoing considerations about national sovereignty amidst the shifting global political landscape.
