LUXEMBOURG, April 7 (Reuters) - Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on Monday suggested the European Union could postpone the entry into force of its initial counter-tariffs against the United States to April 30 from April 15.

"We can perhaps think about a postponement to the 30th, but we certainly do not oppose (the tariffs) ... let's see if we can postpone it by a few weeks so that there is more time for dialogue," Tajani said ahead of a meeting of EU ministers.
