ROME, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) — Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Sunday that the US imposition of tariffs on European countries over Greenland was a "mistake."
According to the Italian television channel Rai News, J. Meloni made this statement during a visit to the Republic of Korea. She said she discussed the issue with US President Donald Trump and the NATO Secretary General.
Noting that the Arctic is a region of strategic importance, the Prime Minister said that in this context, the decision of some European countries to deploy troops to strengthen security should be treated with understanding.
J. Meloni's comments came in response to Donald Trump's announcement on Saturday that the United States would impose 10 percent tariffs on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland, effective February 1. He also warned that the rate would increase to 25 percent on June 1 and remain in effect until an agreement on the purchase of Greenland is reached.
