Elon Musk expressed to participants at a coalition party event in Italy that he hopes to establish a "zero tariff" system between the United States and Europe, effectively creating a "free trade zone" between Europe and North America. On Saturday, Musk said to Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini: "In my view, the ideal situation is for both Europe and the United States to move towards zero tariffs. That's what I hope to see."
