There are 1 comment on the Washington Post story from 6 hrs ago, titled Trump says he does not see expanded role for U.S.in Libya beyond ISIS fight.
President Trump said America "has enough roles" around the world already and will not get involved with intervening in Libya.
Italy Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni and US President Donald Trump affirmed a strong Italy-United States bilateral relationship during their meeting yesterday, saying that it is essential in order to confront the threats posed by instability in the Mediterranean region and by terrorism.
Like Trump, Gentiloni is new to his job, having taken power in December after former prime minister Matteo Renzi resigned after constitutional changes he backed failed in a referendum.
"The U.S. role in this is very critical", Gentiloni said. A divided country would make stability worse.
Trump noted Italy's military contributions to the fight against ISIS and the war in Afghanistan and said the two countries could partner to address "large-scale migration and global smuggling".
During last year's presidential campaign, Trump promised to scale back America's commitments overseas in order to be able to focus on domestic policy.

The decisions of each company took place after the allegations of sexual harassment against O'Reilly gained prominence in media. According to her lawyer, "He would never talk to her, not even hello, except to grunt at her like a wild boar".
Gentiloni pointed out that Italy has been a staunch ally in fighting Islamic extremism in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"He is the religious leader for millions of Canadians, and our meeting will allow us to explore how Canada and the Holy See can further collaborate on a range of global issues". "We're in a role everywhere", Trump said. Trump said it has put farmers in Wisconsin and NY state out of business. He said the process of battling the extremist group has proven to be "very effective".
Italy has also committed to increase its defence spending to two per cent of gross domestic product, the target Trump wants all North Atlantic Treaty Organisation members to reach. Increased military spending seems to be agreeable to both Republicans and Democrats, but Trump's requests for money to build a wall along the southern border and his plans to drastically cut the spending of some agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the State Department are problematic for many lawmakers.
"Our commitment to common defence is very clear", he said.
Trump has pulled the United States out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a pact he said was "a disaster".
"And it is also in my opinion - in my very strong opinion - important for the United States". Trump held his presidential campaign under the banner "America First" and had vowed in April previous year that the U.S., under his presidency, will be "getting out of the nation-building business".
"We should do perhaps our part more strongly". The French election is being seen as a bellwether for whether the move toward nationalism and separation from the European Union, displayed by Britain's move to leave the EU, will continue spreading to other European countries.
