The United States has
exerted pressure on Italy to keep backing EU sanctions on
Russia, BuzzFeed said Monday citing diplomatic sources.
It said "the US administration is concerned that the populist
and pro-Kremlin Italian government may pull its support for such
measures."
It said "it is not clear whether Donald Trump is aware of
these lobbying actions".
BuzzFeed said similar pressure was put on the previous
Italian government.
