The Italian government has asked the US to pay outstanding salaries for Italian employees at American military bases in Italy. Due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, around 2,000 Italian employees, mostly based at Aviano Air Base and Vicenza Army Base, did not receive salaries in October. These employees are employed under Italian contracts, which further complicates the situation.
While Italian employees at U.S. naval bases in Italy have received their salaries on time because the Navy applies different regulations than the Army and Air Force, the situation for other employees remains unclear. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has called on both Washington and the US Embassy in Rome to act quickly, regardless of when the shutdown ends.
The ongoing shutdown in the US is not only impacting employee salaries, but also other areas such as food aid and air travel. Italy is now examining whether the US Army and US Air Force can use their own funds to pay Italian employees. This possibility is currently being discussed with the Pentagon.
The situation shows the far-reaching effects of a government shutdown, which is felt not only in the USA but also internationally. The Italian government is hoping for a quick solution to ease the financial burden on the affected employees and not to strain relations with the USA. Talks between Rome and Washington are in full swing to reach an early agreement.
