At the Ambrosetti Forum, former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta sharply criticized President Trump’s approach to tariffs, labeling them as a ‘pure madness’. Letta discussed the detrimental impact of these tariffs on economies across the globe.

He expressed concern over Trump’s exploitation of divisions within the European Union. Letta emphasized that it’s critical for the EU to unite in response to this aggressive U.S. policy.

Letta warned that the sweeping tariffs would not only harm targeted countries but also inflict pain on the U.S. economy and individual citizens. This statement sheds light on the potential global ramifications of ongoing trade disputes.
