Glad to hear that pasta, cheese, wine and spirits, as well as olive oil and sunglasses, are among the priority sectors of Italy's goods that the European Union wants Washington to shield from higher tariffs.
Major Irish whishey distillery owners are also hopeful U.S. customs duties will be reduced.
It seems higher tariffs continue to impact negatively on U.S. sales and jobs, although they generate government revenue.
In the meanwhile, on the geopolitical front, the 49-year-old Ukrainian man, Serhii Kuznietsov, arrived in Germany two days ago, after Italy's highest court approved his extradition later last week. That man is suspected of setting off explosions that damaged the EU Nord Steam pipelines in 2022. I clearly know that a very small number of blogging friends don't like such news, as they have been shaped to believe that Ukrainians can never be guilty parties. But we are talking about a German criminal court, not a Belarusian or Russian one. Not to mention that EU, UK and US' newspapers don't highlight this news as it should.
Have a nice weekend 🍁
Hi Giorgio!
ReplyDeleteMy comment today will be short because I'm very nervous and sad – some idiot, a degenerate, killed another defenseless animal on my street, left it on the road, and didn't help! This piece of trash (I won't call him a human!) not only showed a complete lack of empathy, but he broke the law against failing to help an animal!!! Unfortunately, this happened four houses down from me.
Giorgio, speaking of NS, in my opinion, the person who blew it up did ok.
Speaking of the USA, I'm furious because I haven't been able to send a larger package to the USA for weeks!!!
Giorgio, I wish you a good weekend!
