Italy insisted the European Union shouldn’t pull out of trade talks with the U.K. despite Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plan to renege on parts of the Brexit divorce accord.
Vincenzo Amendola, Italy’s minister for European affairs, said in an interview that “it is in everyone’s interest to reach an accord,” adding that the global economic crisis added an extra incentive to establish a basis for cooperation with the U.K. on trade, security and other issues.
