ROME �� Chinese President Xi Jinping recruited Italy's populist government to his global Belt and Road development project with the signing of an agreement that worries the U.S. and the European Union as China pushes for economic domination.
Italy is the first Group of Seven nation to volunteer for a role in the big international project.
Chinese and Italian companies were scheduled to sign 10 agreements worth as much as $23 billion, an Italian official said.
