All stopped for "D-Day", the day of duties. Still as statues of salt waiting to understand if the threats will become reality today.
Sardinian entrepreneurs who in recent years have looked overseas with confidence, now tremble at the thought that the duties promised by Trump will actually come into force today, April 2 (an official communication is expected at 10 pm), thus adding a tax at US borders of up to 200% to selling prices.
A fear that however in the last few weeks has transformed into a stalemate in orders by star-spangled importers, terrified of having to overpay for tons of goods once they cross the border.
"In these weeks, fear has certainly won," admits Alessandro Mancini, administrator of the Gallura wineries of the same name. "In order not to risk a blow to delivery, customers have preferred to cancel orders. " "In the last period," he continues, "we have invested to expand our share of the American market. Money now probably thrown to the wind."
