Italy and the United States issued a joint statement on Friday opposing what they called “discriminatory” taxes on digital services, hinting at a possible shift in Italy’s approach to the controversial levy that has strained relations with Washington.

The announcement came as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni held a series of high-profile meetings with former U.S. President Donald Trump and his deputy JD Vance. Meloni received a notably warm welcome from Trump, a stark contrast to his cooler stance toward other European leaders.

The move could mark a turning point in Italy’s tax policy on tech giants, aligning it more closely with U.S. interests as the two nations strengthen their diplomatic ties.
