Steve Bannon eased the way for
Italy's League-5-Star Movement (M5S) government alliance,
according to journalist Michael Wolff's second book about the
administration of United States President Donald Trump.
Bannon, Trump's former strategist, "managed to put the
nationalists together with the populists" in a "brilliant
success", says Siege: Trump Under Fire, the followup to Fire and
Fury.
Wolff also says Bannon advised nationalist League leader
Matteo Salvini and populist M5S leader Luigi Di Maio to choose a
"front man" as premier, in the shape of lawyer Giuseppe Conte.
The alt-right thinker told the leaders that neither of them
should try to be premier himself, the book says.
