Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani on Monday said he hoped the US would promote
peace while noting that both Donald Trump and Joe Biden had been
instrumental in the ceasefire agreement between Israel and
Hamas.
"I hope the US will be a protagonist and promoter of peace but
it looks to me like both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have
exercised a lot of pressure to accelerate the signature of an
agreement with Hamas for a ceasefire", he said.
Tajani added that "the issue of immigration concerns the United
States but it is another problem", addressing via video link
from Jerusalem an event organized by the European Parliament in
Italy called "Agenda for Peace 2025, the role of Europe and the
challenges of the Jubilee of hope".
Tajani was replying to a question on what to expect from Trump
while the inauguration ceremony was underway in Washington DC.
