- Trump’s billionaire envoy to Italy is on ‘coastal diplomacy’ tour with his super yacht, but it’s enraging people in Venice. ‘It’s gross’
Protesters in Venice clashed with police over the arrival of billionaire American ambassador Tilman Fertitta's luxury yacht, criticizing it as a symbol of American wealth and influence during a 250th anniversary 'coastal diplomacy' tour. Demonstrators used inflatable toys and slogans like 'Venezia non si USA' to oppose the event, which Fertitta described as celebrating U.S.-Italy relations.
