WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump welcomed Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to the White House on Thursday, with both leaders signaling confidence that a trade deal will emerge with the European Union.
Trump said that he has “very little problem making a deal with Europe, or anybody else, because we have something that everybody wants.”
He dismissed concerns about China’s escalation of tariffs with the United States and attempts to win over trade partners in the ongoing trade dispute.
“Nobody can compete with us, nobody,” Trump said. “I think we’re going to make a very good deal with China.”
Meloni is expected to play a significant role in calming trade tensions between the United States and the European Union....
