Premier Mario Draghi said Friday that
US President Joe Biden's address to the EU summit Thursday "was
very important, he really brought new air, fresh air in US-EU
relations".
Draghi said Biden "reaffirmed that the pillar of American
foreign policy is the EU. In a previous time, it was said that
the US looked to the east, to Asia, it was in an equidistant
position. Today no, there is a single fundamental ally and it is
the EU".
Draghi also said: "the previous US administration, on the issue
of taxing digital multinationals, was in total closure, but now
the new administration has opened to international accords for
the taxation of digital companies".
In his video address to the virtual summit Thursday, Biden
reaffirmed close US-EU ties, especially over vaccine
cooperation.
