Mattarella warns of danger of trade wars

(ANSA) - Shanghai, February 24 - Italian President Sergio Mattarella warned about the danger of possible international trade wars during a lecture at Shanghai's Fudan University as part of his visit to China. "We cannot think that we can face epochal challenges, such big problems, without a common effort - no one can," said Mattarella. "Nor can we risk the delicate structure of international relations being shaken by trade wars sparked by actions and reactions... It will be simpler to emerge from a complex economic situation via coordinated action, rather than disordered, frenetic unilateral actions".
