The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani, has established a dedicated Task Force at the Ministry’s headquarters to address the issue of US tariffs. The Task Force aims to provide timely information and assistance to businesses and economic operators, supporting them in navigating this complex transitional phase.
The Italian Government is at the forefront of efforts to promote agreements that best protect the interests of Italian companies, working in close coordination with its partners and supporting the European Commission’s negotiating efforts.
The agreement reached on 27 July between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump marked the end of a period of considerable uncertainty and set new guidelines for transatlantic trade relations.

It is essential that companies and trade associations are regularly updated.
The Task Force will convene periodic information meetings, which businesses and trade associations may request to attend by contacting the following:
