Italy's former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has said he is lucky not to have had to work with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Italy's former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said he is lucky not to have had to work with President Donald Trump, telling CNBC that he preferred former President Barack Obama's style of leadership.
"But now with Trump, with a tweet 'We've come back from Syria, from Iraq, from Afghanistan' — with a tweet? This is the style? I think it's a problem," Renzi, a member and former leader of the center-left Democratic Party, said. The government has already caused waves in Brussels for its euroskeptic stance, 2019 budget plans and most recently, its signing up to China's controversial Belt and Road Initiative .
"Italy is a good economy, with a bad government, it's a good car with a bad driver ... I believe that Italy is a country with a government that has created chaos in the last 12 months," he said.
