US President Donald Trump
told President Sergio Mattarella Wednesday that the US doesn't
want to put tariffs on European cars because "it would destroy
the German economy in particular but would also damage the
Italian one," Trump's economic advisor Lawrence Kudlow told a
seminar on US-Italian ties at the Italian embassy on Thursday.
"I'm glad he said it," said Kudrow.
"I noticed because it it's the first time I've heard him say
so clearly".
Kudrow added that Italy can grow by up to 5% by cutting taxes
and deregulation.
He also said that it would take six months to negotiate on
tariffs with the EU.
The tariffs come into force Friday but that "can't be the
last word", he said.
