Italian Prime Minister Cancels Schedule to Address U.S. Tariffs
Giorgia Meloni focuses on strategic response following the introduction of new tariffs by the United States.
Giorgia Meloni, the Italian Prime Minister, has cancelled her scheduled engagements today to concentrate on the response to newly imposed tariffs by the United States government.
This decision was communicated by Palazzo Chigi, the official residence of the Italian Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister was set to attend the inauguration of a Carabinieri station in Limbadi, located in the province of Vibo Valentia.
However, her focus has shifted to assessing the implications of the recent trade measures introduced by the U.S.
Tommaso Foti, the Minister for European Affairs, Cohesion Policies, and the National Recovery Plan, expressed the government's concerns regarding the U.S. tariffs.
Speaking on the program 'Agorà' on Rai3, he indicated the severity of the situation, noting that the announcement by former President Donald Trump to impose tariffs on 60 countries represents a significant intervention in the global economy.
Foti emphasized the necessity of understanding the rationale behind the U.S. initiative, questioning whether it reflects a genuine effort to address trade imbalances or if it is a tactical approach to negotiate with individual countries and continents.
Furthermore, he advocated for a measured response from the Italian government, suggesting that rather than engaging in counterproductive disputes, there must be a clear and strategic approach to the situation.
Foti underscored the need for firmness and clarity in Italy's response, encouraging dialogue with U.S. counterparts to find a mutual resolution.
