Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani landed in Washington early on Tuesday for talks with United States officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Tajani will also meet Jim Risch, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and Ambassador Jamieson Greer, the US Trade Representative.

Bilateral relations, tariffs and international crises, including Russia’s war on Ukraine, will be among the issues discussed, sources said.

Tajani will also meet business representatives and members of the Italian-American community.
