Italy warns against retaliatory tariffs against US.

Italian Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti has warned against the imposition of retaliatory tariffs on the US in response to President Donald Trump's announcement of sweeping import duties on trade partners.

Under Mr Trump's plans Italy, which has a large trade surplus with the US, will be subject to a general tariff of 20% along with other EU countries.
