Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on Friday said he called for dialogue to avoid a potential trade war that wouldn't benefit anyone during talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in La Malbaie, Quebec.
With Rubio, "we spoke about the new situation at a commercial level, even if he isn't the foreign trade minister", Tajani said after the G7 meeting.
"I said that it will be necessary to avoid any trade war because they benefit no one and we are ready to dialogue", he noted.
"As Italians, we will play our part in Europe as well, because the solution can only be dialogue.
"We must not make bombastic statements" and "solutions can be found", also stressed Tajani.
"A strongarm is not useful to anyone" and "I believe that the best road to follow is dialogue and discussion", he noted.
