Milan, 26 May (LaPresse) – "Even when Trump said “let's put tariffs at 50%” I said “caution, let's negotiate”, so much so that yesterday's phone call between Trump and von der Leyen ended with an agreement to postpone everything until 9 July and negotiate in the meantime‘ and it is ’thanks to Italy that this direct relationship between von der Leyen and Trump has been established; those who say we should negotiate alone are making a big mistake". This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on ReStart on Rai 3. The phone call took place “thanks to Italy's diplomatic efforts, starting with the work of the Prime Minister”, Tajani added, “we have all worked to facilitate dialogue between the EU and the US”.
