Italy has always been one of the most servile European countries when it comes to the United States. Things certainly won’t change now that Meloni’s far-right government sees in Trump the ultimate legitimation of its xenophobic and anti-democratic tendencies.

I live in France. Drug prices have not changed, let alone doubled as Trump claims. It is interesting to see that, this time, the French government has not even responded to the offensive statements of the American president, who is being treated as an unbalanced person in the midst of a delusion.
