French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Tuesday that it would urge the European Union to protect its industries the same way that the United States does.
"From next Sunday, Italy and France will talk with tough language and ask Europe (at a European Union crisis summit) to take strong decisions," Sarkozy told a news conference in Rome alongside Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
"If the United States defend its farmers as it does, we can do the same in Europe; if the United States defends its industry, as it does, they are right, maybe in Europe we can do the same," said Sarkozy.
