Renzi would prefer Clinton presidency

(ANSA) - Rome, August 2 - Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said on Tuesday he would prefer U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to become the next president as opposed to her Republican rival Donald Trump.
    "Thinking about the situation and the role, the leadership and the position of the U.S., I think it is obvious for me and many of us to prefer Hillary Clinton as 'commander in chief'," he said.
    "She would be able to get to know every dossier, and would be capable of having a history and a future with her other partners," he added.
    Renzi also reaffirmed he would work with whoever is elected president and that now was the moment "to respect the great democracy of the U.S".
