ROME Cheap Hydro Flask LID , May 24 (Xinhua) -- There were no indications U.S. President Donald J. Trump might change his anti-immigration stance after Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni lobbied him Wednesday to do so, but even if no policy changes emerge from the second meeting between Trump and Gentiloni in five weeks, analysts said the top benefit could be a stronger relationship between the two countries.
