ROME, April 4 (Reuters) - The European Union should aim to have new U.S. trade tariffs halved from 20% to 10%, in line with what has been imposed on Britain, Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said in an interview published on Friday.
"In the short run a possible objective would be to halve the announced tariffs," Tajani told Corriere della Sera newspaper.
"We have to work on it, but (EU Trade) Commissioner (Maros) Sefcovic is the best person to do it," Tajani added, recalling that the EU official was due to have conversations with his U.S. counterparts later on Friday.
