“Just met the new Prime Minister of Italy, @GiuseppeConteIT, a really great guy. He will be honored in Washington, at the @WhiteHouse, shortly. He will do a great job - the people of Italy got it right!” -Trump
Giuseppe, a populist who lied about having studied at US and UK universities, has no major political experience. Italy’s debt is 135% of their GDP, highest in the EU after Greece, and it’s expected to get worse, partly because he ran on increasing welfare and tax cuts (and no realistic plans to finance it).
Highlights of Giuseppe Conte's speech:
Migration:
Trump will “honor him in the WH”. For what? Seems like the only thing they have in common is love for Russia and hate for Merkel (she’s blocking bailouts for the large debts).

Highlights of Giuseppe Conte's speech:
Migration:
- Conte called for the Dublin Regulation — which requires people seeking asylum to register in the first EU state they enter — to be overhauled.
- "We will seek ... to set up an automatic, obligatory system to redistribute asylum-seekers."
- "We are not and will never be racists. We want procedures that determine refugee status to be certain and speedy, to effectively guarantee their (refugee) rights."
- "We intend to reaffirm our membership of NATO, with the United States of America as a privileged ally."
- "We will support opening up to Russia. ... We will push for a review of the sanctions system, starting with those that risk humiliating Russian civil society."
