Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has said President Donald Trump's tariffs are "wrong" but called on Europe to avoid getting involved in a trade war.
According to foreign media, the Italian government said Meloni canceled her commitments for that day so that she could focus on her country's actions in response to Trump's announcement.
Meloni, who is a close Trump ally, described the 20% tariff on the European Union as "not in the interest of either party."
"We will do everything we can to work towards an agreement with the United States, with the aim of avoiding a trade war that would inevitably weaken the West in favor of other global players," she said, writes A2 CNN.
Earlier this morning, we reported that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU is preparing countermeasures to Trump's tariffs. (A2 Televizion)
