It started with the US Commerce Department launching what it says was a routine antidumping review, based on allegations Italian pasta makers sold product into the US at below-market prices and undercut local competitors. That has led to a threat of 92 percent duties, which would come on top of the 15 percent tariff President Donald Trump’s administration imposed on European exports generally.
