Trump envoy’s tour on $450mn superyacht stirs anger in Italy

Italians are expressing outrage over a lavish tour conducted by a Trump envoy aboard a $450 million superyacht, which has drawn criticism for its perceived extravagance and the undisclosed cost of security provided by Rome. The journey, described as "coastal diplomacy" by billionaire businessman Tilman Fertitta, has sparked debate about the appropriateness of such high-profile visits and the public funds used to ensure security. This situation highlights broader concerns about the balance between diplomatic activities and fiscal responsibility, especially in times of economic uncertainty.
