U.S. Ambassador Tilman Fertitta protested in Venice during superyacht diplomacy tour.
Several hundred protesters demonstrated in Venice on Friday against U.S. Ambassador Tilman Fertitta's arrival aboard a 117-meter superyacht as part of a tour marking the 250th anniversary of American independence. Minor scuffles broke out when demonstrators approached the vessel and were blocked by riot police. The 'Coastal Diplomacy 250' tour has drawn criticism as an ostentatious display of wealth amid local frustrations over tourism and U.S. foreign policy.
