US President Donald Trump showered the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni with compliments. He stated, for example, that she is one of the “real leaders in the world” and that “storm has won Europe.” “I like her very much,” he said.
He welcomed hardly anyone with such honors. Melons did not spare them – it began with photos of working lunch, then a joint press conference in the oval office, and then more detailed discussions of the delegation of both countries were organized. From time to time, the US President abandoned his gloomy expression on his face, which he often takes on and laughed.

On the one hand, he stated that “at 100 percent” A trade agreement will come. On the other hand, he did not hide that he was in no hurry. And that it isAlmost delighted that billions of dollars from customs duties flow into the American budget. – Clays make us rich! He said.
A lot of words, few specifics
Speaking of billions of dollars supplying US money, of course, he also meant those that were the result of customs out of EU products. Currently, the basic customs rate of 10 %, as well as 25 percent. For cars, steel and aluminum.

In addition to trade in goods, Trump also presses to increase American energy exports.
