Italy introduces school decrees as Trump and Xi meet

The Italian government has released a draft decree regarding school regulations. Key provisions include a 30% cap per class for students without Italian citizenship or sufficient educational backgrounds. The decree also prohibits the wearing of the burqa or niqab in schools, with fines ranging from 200 to 1,000 euros for violators or their parents. Additionally, families who do not speak Italian and whose children struggle with integration are required to attend free language courses or face similar financial sanctions.

On the international stage, President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping held their second meeting of 2026 at the White House. Following a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office, the leaders discussed the necessity of peaceful coexistence between the two global powers.

At the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the assembly, condemning accusations of genocide as the ‘biggest lie of the century’ and criticizing leaders in London and Paris for labeling the Jewish state as colonialist.
