United States President
Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview Friday that Italian
Premier Giuseppe Conte was "fantastic" and that "it seems being
tough on immigration now pays".
Trump was praising Italy's decision to close its ports to
migrant-rescue NGO ship Aquarius in a stand-off with Malta that
ended when Spain agreed to take the over 600 migrants aboard.
"By the way, the Democrats are very weak on immigration," he
said, accusing the opposition of separating children from
parents after entering the US illegally.
