Industry and Labour Minister Luigi
Di Maio said Tuesday that "we must not be afraid of talking
about tariffs".
He said "I don't say I want to impose tariffs, but that you
can talk about it".
Di Maio, who is also deputy premier, said "our economy is one
united thing and if tariffs serve to protect our products it's
right to talk about it. It's another taboo to be broken".
The anti-establishment 5-Star Movement leader did not go into
details.
Asked if the model might be US President Donald Trump, he
replied "that's not the problem, but tariffs are not a topic you
can't even talk about.
