very important nato partner. mr. conte's political base isn't solidified inside italy. there were two populist parties that had to settle on him. the power structure is tepid. we will see how much he can solidify reforms he wants to put in place. he is fighting on trade and immigration. i'm watching this. i want a dialogue. but i don't think i will be overly worried at this point. >> you bring up he was a compromise. but you welcome at someone like his deputy prime minister who could have more power. he wants to convince eu partners to lift sanctions on moscow, readmit russia. should we expect similar language we heard from him from conte? >> you hit the nail on the head.
