MILAN, May 23 (Reuters) - Italy hopes the European Union can still strike a trade deal with the United States, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani was quoted as saying by Italian news agency ANSA on Friday.
"Our aim remains zero-zero tariffs", Tajani said during a visit to Mexico.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he would recommend a 50% tariff on the European Union to begin on June 1, which would result in stiff levies on luxury items, pharmaceuticals and other goods produced by European manufacturers.
