Trump wants Italian Ambassador Armando Varricchio fired
The Italian diplomat has long been at the center of a controversy between Matteo Salvini's party , the government and the American administration. Always in excellent relations with the Italian left (from Giorgio Napolitano to Enrico Letta, passing eg Matteo Renzi and Massimo D'Alema), Varricchio does not like the League but does not like Donald Trump, who has long asked to remove him from the office of Italian representative in the United States. Too many differences between the US government and the ambassador and above all too many ties with American democrats. Indeed, it is above all this that has a significant impact on the approval of the White House for our diplomat in Washington. An example of all, the dinner organized by the same Varricchio in honor ofNancy Pelosi , returned to being speaker of the House of Representatives, where invited guests of honor Bill and Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, former Secretary of State of Barack Obama. There was not a guest of the Republican party, which currently governs the United States. And it is clear that this has (very) affected the deep irritation of the Trump administration, whose summit had already asked at the beginning of the mandate to change the ambassador and it is a repeated request even afterwards.
