Իտալական մակարոնեղենի արտադրողները դիմագրափակվում են ԱՄՆ-ի 107% տուրքերի հետ՝ արտահանման մեղադրանքների պատճառով

"...The world of pasta, a staple of Italy’s culinary heritage, has been thrown into disarray after Washington threatened to whack another 92% on some of the country’s oldest pasta manufacturers in what the Italian media has declared “Trump’s war against pasta”...."

"...The punitive outcome is proving difficult to digest for the Italian pasta makers, which are all preparing to take legal action...."

"...The tariffs are thought to be intended to encourage Italian producers to set up factories in the US, a strategy that appears to have led to investments in other industries such as pharmaceuticals...."

"...The prospect of a surcharge has provoked sharp criticism on the peninsula...."

"...The country's largest agricultural association Coldiretti, meanwhile, called the decision a "fatal blow"...."

"...These "unacceptable and abusive" measures are "linked to (Donald) Trump's plan to relocate production to the United States," the association said on Saturday, calling on the EU and Rome to "protect a true symbol of the Mediterranean diet"...."

"...The U.S. market holds strategic importance for Italian producers, with an estimated value of nearly 671 million euros ($788 million) in 2024, according to Coldiretti, accounting for nearly 17 percent of exports...."

"...The Italian government is beginning to mobilize on the issue, with Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida issuing a statement: "Together with the Italian ambassador to the United States, Marco Peronaci, we are closely following the alleged anti-dumping action, which would trigger a hyper-protectionist mechanism towards our pasta producers of which we see neither the need nor any justification."..."

"...Luigi Scordamaglia, head of the Italian agricultural trade group Filiera Italia, also expressed concern, saying the move "will benefit those who produce pasta in the United States, damaging all those who instead export pasta from Italy to the US."..."

"...Pasta maker Unione Italia put it more bluntly, issuing a statement calling the dramatic hike in tariffs "an insult to the Made in Italy product par excellence, a sign that this is a political decision not a technical one."..."
