Spectacular decisions have emerged from the first day of the G7 in Taormina but it was unthinkable that the debut of Trump, who does not yet know his interlocutors well, could pave the way for who knows what agreements, even if the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, has reminded guests that "ambitious responses are needed."
Some progress has been made in the fight against terrorism with the common commitment to a greater exchange of information and greater collaboration of the intelligence services. A possible agreement on the management of migrants has yet to be defined, but the US is reluctant to engage in Libya.
Finally, great distances on climate change: the US has asked for more time to decide on its strategy. Finally, on international trade, a preferential axis is emerging between the USA and the UK.
Today we will try to tighten up, but the G7 in Taormina does not promise sparks.
