"We have obtained operational unblocking of fresh and short-aged pork exports to the United States from Tuscany and Umbria. A recognition of Italian excellence. I thank US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the US Administration; let us continue with growth diplomacy for our businesses", said Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. Tuscany and Umbria can now export pork products to the United States, beginning with hams, finocchiona, and progressing to salami, sausages, and other delicacies. Only these two regions were prohibited from exporting to the US. The result has been achieved after years of commitment, urged by Confindustria, the Norcia ham consortium, and the Tuscan ham and finocchiona consortiums, as well as Minister Tajani's commitment.
