Rome, 17 April (LaPresse) – ‘To believe that Giorgia Meloni's trip to Washington could be decisive for us is something halfway between propaganda and wishful thinking: Italy alone does not have the negotiating leverage to obtain the answers it needs.’ This was stated by Enrico Borghi, vice-president of Italia Viva, on Coffee Break. ‘I doubt that today will be remembered as the meeting between De Gasperi and Truman in 1947. The advice we in the opposition give to the prime minister is to try to bring home the reopening of negotiations between the United States and the European Union, which are necessary to ensure a framework of relative tranquillity for our economic and productive system, which is worried and exhausted by what is a real trade war. It is the bare minimum we can achieve,’ he concluded.
