The Italian Prime Minister Meloni is furious.
On April 6 local time, Italian Prime Minister Meloni said that the Italian government would deal with the issue of U.S. tariff increases with a "firm and pragmatic attitude".
Meloni, the Italian prime minister, belongs to the right-wing party and basically agrees with Trump's political views. She also attended Trump's inauguration ceremony and believed that relations between the two countries were very good. Who would have thought that this time the United States imposed tariffs on goods from Italy as well. Italy exports approximately 37 billion euros worth of goods to the United States annually and generates a trade surplus of 900 million euros from the United States each year. Now that the United States is preventing Italy from making money, Italy is naturally unwilling and plans to retaliate against the United States. However, in the eyes of the United States, European countries like Italy are not worth mentioning; they are just appetizers for the United States.
