Premier Giuseppe Conte said Monday
"there is another element that boost our project, and that is
the fact that we are looking with great hope to the Biden
presidency.
"I had a long, warm phonecall with him and we agreed that we
will update each other soon in view of the G20."
Conte, addressing the House ahead of a confidence vote in his
government after ex-premier Matteo Renzi triggered a government
crisis by withdrawing his centrist Italia Viva party,
underscored incoming US President Joe Biden's "multilateral
approach".
He said "the agenda of the new US administration is our agenda".
Conte added that after the storming of Capitol Hill by Trump
supporters on January 6, for which the outgoing president has
been impeached for inciting an insurrection, "we are ever more
conscious that democracies must be defended".
