Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on April 17 to discuss the tariffs that he has slapped on European Union imports, her office said on Tuesday, APA reports citing Reuters.
The 27-nation bloc faces 25% import tariffs on steel and aluminium and cars, and broader tariffs of 20% from Wednesday for almost all other goods under Trump's policy to hit countries he says impose high barriers to U.S. imports.
Meloni told Italian business leaders that she supported an offer made by the European Commission to introduce a "zero-for-zero" tariff deal to avert a trade war with the United States.
"This is the negotiation that must see us all committed at all levels, which sees us committed and which commits me as I will be in Washington next April 17," Meloni said in a speech released by her staff.
