It’s Donald Trump alert for Italian exports to the US, which will almost certainly be harmed by the super duties imposed by the new US president. Expressing concerns about the tycoon's return to the White House is the Bank of Italy, which in its latest economic bulletin explains how "a tightening of duties would have significant effects on Italian companies that export to the US market, especially small and medium-sized ones. Our country is significantly exposed to the US, which is the second destination, after Germany, of Italy's foreign sales of goods". Central Bank analysts point out that Italy has “a substantial surplus in trade in goods, the result of exports of $53 billion and imports of only $20 billion” to boast against the US. So it seems that for Made in Italy, Trump's return to Washington is not good news
