Trump discusses NATO with Italy

Italy discussed bilateral relations with the US during a phone call with President Donald Trump.

Italy's prime minister emphasised the significance of NATO and outlined a new agreement between Italy and Libya to fight human trafficking during a phone call with US President Donald Trump.

Italian Premier Paolo Gentiloni's office said the phone call on Saturday evening focused on "bilateral relations between Italy and the USA, united by a historic friendship and collaboration."

The two leaders also renewed their commitment to fighting terrorism and radicalism and to reinforce efforts to resolve the Ukraine crisis and achieve peace in the Middle East, including in war-torn Syria, the White House said.

Trump also agreed to attend the G-7 summit scheduled for May in Taormina, Italy, the White House said.
