the trump administration has more in common with conti's coalition government than it does with those of other european countries despite warm words for the french president and german chancellor due to their visits to washington the us president recently described the e.u. as a fellow to be may well be a welcome and useful friend at this meeting from painted at another one which may be on the cards so i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with the rent if they wanted to meet and i'm ready to meet anytime they want if we could work something out that's meaningful not the waste of paper that the other deal was i would certainly be willing to make. this after trump who date of the iran nuclear accords and warned its leaders against threatening the u.s. in the strongest of terror. if a meeting happens it would be the first between the u.s. and iranian president in nearly forty years and mark another foreign policy turnaround for this most unconventional of president. now to what is perhaps the world's greenest a football team forest agreeing rover has become the world's first sport

italy's president has approved jew sepic content as that country's next prime minister conti was put forward for the post by italy's two main populist parties the pirate league and the anti establishment five star movement the appointment of conti a lawyer and political novice is designed to end weeks of political deadlock in his acceptance speech he promised to protect italians at home and abroad but he said he was aware that he needed to honor european and international commitments. and let's bring in d.w. correspondent bent for more on this is covering the developments there in italy for us and joins us from italy's capital rome but questions were raised about just how to contest credentials president hesitated before indorsing him is it clear that contact will indeed be confirmed by parliament. yes there's no doubt that mr khan develop have the votes of confidence next week because the majority of the two top this pot is. and the league of the right wing extremist is sufficient to do that and to then he has to come up with a list of his ministers this might be more difficult espe

of the grievances of donald trump so clearly he trumpet ministration is trying to build bridges to conti and other right wing leaders in europe so you would say that we're not just witnessing it to men who see eye to eye on several contentious issues but this is truly a meeting of the minds. i think so even though the two personalities are very different mr concert is a law professor relatively quiet gentle not the kind of educator that on the trump is but when it comes to the issues i think they do see eye to eye also on issues like russia. was the only other leader at the recent g. seven summit in canada that actually supported the idea of donald trump to readmit russia to this exclusive circle and so this is not unheard of of course former italian prime minister silvio berlusconi was seen as a personal friend of russian president vladimir putin who invited putin to parties in italy of course contains not the party style of leader but still again on this issue he is closer to donald trump than to say underline that person for nominee reporting from washington on that by a lateral a mee

there strains even within the european bloc the new italian prime minister giuseppe conti has openly expressed support for president trump. with tensions rising and a possible trade war looming amongst close allies the future of the g. seven is hard to gauge many observers have said it's likely this summit will end without a joint communique signed off on by all its members. i'm now joined by having a greek from the think tank german council on foreign relations trump says he wants russia back in the g. seven fold why is he so keen on getting moscow back at the table here can avoid thinking that this might be an attempt to divert attention from the conflicts inside the g seven i think trump has understood that the g. seven is united against him in this case japan wanted to have closer relations with russia italy as has been said the new government might be open for that so he might have caused some some. discussions inside the g seven that stop people talking about the trade issues that go so in the direction of conflict and war now. it's too early to do that to take russia back in b
