The government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has officially notified China about Italy's withdrawal from the Belt and Road Initiative. This move confirms the months-long speculations that Rome was planning to cease its involvement in Beijing's global infrastructure program, in which Chinese banks finance projects from highways, ports, railways, power plants, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Bloomberg quoted Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who said BRI "has not produced the desired effects" and is no longer "a priority."
Tajani spoke at an event in Rome earlier today hosted by newswire Adnkronos. He said countries ex-BRI "have better results" in terms of economic growth.
Data from Bloomberg shows Italy's trade deficit with China exploded following the BRI deal, making the European country even more dependent on supplies from China.
Italy was the first Group of Seven (G7) countries to join the BRI in 2019. With its five-year memorandum of understanding up for renewal, Italy has chosen to withdraw from the deal.
Since Meloni took office last year, she has made it very clear that she is withdrawing from the BRI. She said joining was a "big mistake."

DHS denied Trump's Secret Service detail requested additional support. After the official Republican nomination Trump's detail would be increased automatically.

“At 4:30pm EST, my boss called me to tell me I had been placed on administrative leave pending an Investigation,” Dudek wrote. “They want to fire me for cooperating with DOGE.”
“I confess. I helped DOGE understand SSA. I mailed myself publicly accessible documents and explained them to DOGE. I confess. I moved contractor money around to add data science resources to my anti-fraud team. I confess. I asked where the fat was and is in our contracts so we can make the right tough choices.”
“I confess. I bullied agency executives, shared executive contact information, and circumvented the chain of command to connect DOGE with the people who get stuff done,” the post continued.
Dudek then offered his explanation for cooperating with what has become the enemy of entrenched power: “Everything I have ever done is in service to our country, our beneficiaries, and our agency.”
