## Summary

[Emmanuel Macron](/zh/entity/emmanuel-macron) hosted [Giorgia Meloni](/zh/entity/giorgia-meloni) in Antibes on June 25 for the first [France](/zh/entity/france)-[Italy](/zh/entity/italy) bilateral summit under the 2021 Quirinal Treaty, signing a defence roadmap that foregrounds the Franco-Italian SAMP/T air-defence system already supplied to [Ukraine](/zh/entity/ukraine). The two also agreed cooperation on nuclear energy, including small modular reactors, and on the "Bromo" satellite venture meant to build a European rival to Starlink. Meloni arrived fresh from her [fallout with Trump](/zh/n/meloni-trump-feud-iran-g7) over Iran, and the French presidency framed the meeting bluntly: "We need each other." It caps a day of European defence coordination alongside the [E5 Berlin meeting](/zh/n/e5-berlin-five-percent-hormuz-2026-06-25).

## Why it matters

A working Paris-Rome axis on air defence, nuclear power and space hardens Europe's autonomy push at a moment when ties to [Donald Trump](/zh/entity/donald-trump)'s Washington are fraying. SAMP/T and the satellite venture target two visible dependencies: Ukraine's air shield and reliance on US-controlled space infrastructure.

## What to watch

- Concrete SAMP/T production and delivery commitments for Ukraine.
- Whether the "Bromo" satellite project secures funding and partners.
- Durability of the Macron-Meloni thaw given their past clashes.
