Brussels, April 14 (LaPresse) – "President von der Leyen and Prime Minister Meloni have been in regular contact. The President is in constant contact with all leaders. In recent days, they have also been in contact regarding this mission (to the USA on Thursday), and they will be again before the planned mission." This was stated by the European Commission spokesperson, Arianna Podestà, during the daily briefing with the press. "As the President herself mentioned in some interviews, any contact with the United States is welcomed, of course, the competence to negotiate trade agreements lies with the EU. This is established by our treaties, so it is our exclusive competence, but the visit is very welcome and closely coordinated," she emphasized.
