Later in the Farnesina, after a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Luigi Di Maio, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency that heads the State Department told reporters: The United States calls on the Italian government to carefully consider national security and the confidentiality of the data of its citizens with technology companies that are part of the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance system.
Di Maio had just given a public consolation destined for Washington. I take the opportunity of this meeting – he said – to convey a message: Italy firmly anchored to the United States and the European Union to which we are united by common values and interests. In both cases, prepared statements, anything but improvised. Each of them knew they had to do their part because, before, there had been differences on the matter.

To Pompeo, who arrived on a visit to Rome from Greece, Conte explained that his government, like Germany, proposes a firm line towards Ankara’s muscular performances towards the Greek sea, which leaves an open path for dialogue with the Turks. On Libya, the Italian government does not like that the so-called E3 formed by Germany, France and Great Britain tends to deal with it. Conte to Pompeo said I better move on reactivate the Quint, a forum in which the three countries also include the United States and Italy.
