Giorgia Meloni calls US tariffs a mistake, but not disaster

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated on Thursday that the trade tariffs announced by the United States were a mistake. However, she added that their effect should not be exaggerated and any response should be well thought out.

We must not fuel alarmism, it’s not a catastrophe,” Meloni said in an interview with Italy’s RAI television.

“I’m not convinced that the best way to respond to tariffs is with other tariffs,” she added.
