The meeting a few days ago in the Chamber of Deputies with U.S. Ambassador Jack Markell not only confirmed the solidity of relations between Italy and the U.S. but that they will remain so, regardless of the Governments in office.
The United States is heading into presidential elections, a crucial time in international politics, but those who think that Italy has particular sympathies for Democrats rather than Republicans have the wrong perception of reality.
Our countries are friends and solid allies, and political relations are as good with the incumbent president as with Republican number one Donald Trump, who will be his opponent in the race for the White House.
Il Fatto Quotidiano wrote about these ties, interviewing me about my role and opinion in relations between Italy and the U.S. Republican Party.
