False, according to snopes:

What Trump actually said, in his opening remarks during the press conference, was as follows: “The United States and Italy are bound together by a shared cultural and political heritage dating back thousands of years, to ancient Rome …”

Edit: Even after reading this quote twice, I can't really understand what Trump wanted to say.
