Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said
Thursday that he and the city government are planning to invite
former US President Barack Obama to visit the city.
"I'll plan a visit to Milan for Obama. I'm nostalgic for
Obama," Sala said.
Sala made the statement in front of the city courthouse prior
to giving testimony in the trial of Lombardy regional governor
Roberto Maroni, who is accused, among other things, of
bid-rigging in a massive graft probe that involves Expo, of
which Sala was CEO.
Maroni is currently in the United States with a regional
delegation on a trade mission and on Thursday will attend the
National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC, where Donald Trump
will speak.
