Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi said he was taking the same approach to the United States under Barack Obama as he did with previous administrations
''I have always been open, sincere and grateful, with the Clinton administration, the Bush administration and now with Obama's,'' Berlusconi told reporters after a Gaza reconstruction donors' conference here.
The US foreign policy line had not changed under Obama, he added.
''The expectations of those who thought Barack Obama would change US foreign policy have proven groundless,'' Berlusconi said.
