The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, has sent the following message to the President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump:
«The celebration of Independence Day gives me the opportunity to extend to you, Mr. President, and to the American people – our friends – the warmest congratulations of the Italian Republic, as well as my own personal ones.
For Italy, the United States is an irreplaceable partner. Our solid bilateral relations and our extraordinarily intense political dialogue reflect a bond that is deeply felt and shared by our peoples. Fruitful economic, cultural and social exchanges – which benefit from the support of the dynamic Italian-American community – help fuel a historic partnership that we wish to further consolidate, based on equity and mutual prosperity.
Facing an international context that presents many complex challenges – starting from the tragic situations in Ukraine and in the Middle East – the United States and Italy share the goal of promoting the currently jeopardized paths that lead to stabilization and peace, while favoring cooperation and global security. In such a context, laden with critical circumstances and tensions, the enduring, pivotal role of the transatlantic bond is still the key for addressing such situations effectively.
On this important occasion, I wish to renew my heartfelt wishes for prosperity to you and to all the citizens of the United States of America».
