Italy’s Meloni pleads case for lower EU tariffs with Trump

The tariff saga played out on multiple fronts in the American capital on Thursday.

Italy Prime Minister Georgia Meloni met with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday, where she pushed for a better deal for Europe and with fewer penalties.

Meanwhile, Trump put Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on notice over his belief that tariff policy would cause a spike in inflation.

As Reggie Cecchini reports, the president still insists tariffs and any resulting trade deals are the way forward.

Why are president, prime minister of other countries going to the white house to get insulted or laughed at ?

[jianchengrong]

Submit, then you will have a “deal” that Trump could just flip-flop the next day

[davidbingham]

It's fruitless for anyone to visit Donald to 'make a deal'.
His deal is "give me all your stuff".

[DrakeyC]

You can't make arguments based on logic and compassion with someone who understands neither.

When one kneel there is no way to get a fair deal.

The best approach might be to persuade Trump to come to you with a deal.

Disappointing. Don't go there, don't beg you don't need it that bad.

Half a billion collected so far, but even that will dwindle as trade finds new places outside of USA.
