Hey there, global citizens! 🌏 We sat down with Romano Prodi — former Italian prime minister, ex-European Commission chief & college professor — for an honest chat with CGTN. Here’s the scoop:
Gaza Ceasefire 🙏
Prodi’s relief over the current pause in fighting is real. But he reminds us lasting peace is a marathon, not a sprint. Building trust takes time, open dialogue & lots of patience.
US Tariffs 💸
Tariffs are basically taxes on imported goods. Prodi sees risks (higher costs for everyday stuff) and chances (a push for homegrown innovation). It’s like a Bengaluru startup finding new ways to thrive when global supply chains shift.
America’s Global Role 🌐
Prodi flags a trend of the US feeling a bit more solo on the world stage. In his view, tackling big issues — from climate change to tech alliances — still needs teamwork across borders.
Bottom line? World affairs can get complicated, but chats like these make us all a bit wiser. So next time you grab your chai or kopi, remember: staying curious & connected is the real game-changer. ☕✨
