Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday the United States looked forward to working with Italy's new government after a far-right victory but would encourage respect for human rights.

"We are eager to work with Italy's government on our shared goals: supporting a free and independent Ukraine, respecting human rights and building a sustainable economic future," Blinken wrote on Twitter.
