PARIS — Even before she took office, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni picked regular fights with French President Emmanuel Macron. 

Now, U.S. President Donald Trump is helping them make peace.

As they meet in Antibes on the French Riviera on Thursday for their first and probably last bilateral summit, Meloni and Macron will finally find themselves on the same page politically, ready to sign a raft of agreements on topics ranging from nuclear power to aerospace.
