Italian PM Meloni's visit to Trump 'frankly useless' for EU: Senior MEP Benifei

We speak to the chair of the European Parliament’s delegation for relations with the United States: Italian politician Brando Benifei. He recently led a group of MEPs to the US to meet members of the US Congress and other players in a bid to de-escalate the trade crisis between Washington and Brussels. He talks of the probability of a negotiated solution, and comments on the complicated political relationship between the US president and the EU – as evidenced by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s tightrope act when she was hosted by Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday.
