The situation in Ukraine, with the need to continue to support Kiev and send a "strong message" to Russia to convince Vladimir Putin to sit at the peace negotiating table, and the complicated issue of tariffs, on which negotiations must be "accelerated" to achieve a "win-win solution."

These are the main issues discussed by the Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, during the first half of his mission in Washington, which will continue in the next few hours with talks with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, and with the US Trade Representative, Jamieson Greer.
