Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has denounced the former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed tariff policies, calling them “wrong” as international criticism mounts.

Trump’s proposal includes imposing steep tariffs on imports, particularly a 60% tariff on Chinese goods, raising fears of a global trade war.

Despite her conservative alignment with Trump, Meloni warned that such measures could disrupt global trade and economic stability. Her remarks add to a growing chorus of opposition from world leaders, including officials from the European Union, China, and Canada, who have cautioned that retaliatory tariffs could follow, further straining international markets and supply chains.

Trump’s trade policy proposals have become a focal point in his campaign for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, sparking intense debate.

While supporters argue that tariffs could strengthen the American economy by protecting domestic industries, critics warn of potential economic fallout.

As Trump’s campaign progresses, global leaders and economists will be closely monitoring the impact of his trade stance on international relations and financial markets.
