## Personal life and views

Giubilei resides in Rome and speaks fluent Spanish. In 2019, he established a pro-Juan Guaidó committee. In 2022, he said that an alliance between Russia and China would be dangerous for Europe. As a conservative, Giubilei is close to Brothers of Italy, the political party of the incumbent Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni, being described as her ambassador in the United States. Giubilei hopes to host the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference in Rome, and wishes that both Trumpists and non-Trumpists in the Republican Party take part, with the goal of closer relations between American conservatives and European conservatives. Although Giubilei does not consider Donald Trump to be a true conservative and criticized what he sees as his excesses, such as the January 6 United States Capitol attack, he supports Trump over Kamala Harris in the 2024 United States presidential election. He praised Trump on foreign policy, and described him as a model.
