(ANSA) - Rome, October 17 - Great Italian cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino, Grana Padano and Gorgonzola were among the products hit as the 25% tariffs United States President Donald Trump has set on many EU goods kicked in on Friday.

Farmers' association Coldiretti said the measures are set to cause a 20% drop in the sales of the agro-food products affected in the US.
