WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will work with the new government in Italy on a full range of shared global challenges, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday.

The right-wing alliance that won Italy's national election will usher in a rare era of political stability to tackle an array of problems besieging the euro zone's third largest economy, one of its senior figures said on Monday.
