Imposing import duties and trade
barriers would be self-harming, Premier Paolo Gentiloni said
Tuesday.
"We are the paladins of the opening of markets and against
all forms of unilateral protectionism," he said.
"Italy would be one of the countries in the world most
damaged by protectionist dynamics, since we have a trade surplus
of 47 billion euros, exporting everything: asking for duties and
barriers would be harming ourselves," he said.
"But we must protect our strategic assets," he added.
