“I have filed a question to expose the facts. Veneto and Italy are not the property of the U.S.,” he added.
Undated footage published by Field Ethos, an outdoor brand co-founded by Trump Jr., shows him shooting ducks from a foxhole in the Venice Lagoon. In one clip, Trump Jr. points out an orange duck, saying: “This is actually a rather uncommon duck for the area,” adding “not even sure what it is in English, but incredible shoot.”
Italian media reported Trump Jr. was in Venice in December.
Hunting in Italy is legal but strictly regulated. Only Italian residents with a regional hunting permit are allowed to hunt. “Trump Jr. in Italy would not be allowed to hunt,” Zanoni said.
Following Zanoni’s request, Green MP Luana Zanella escalated the matter to the environment ministry. Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin said he was “waiting for a report to know more and have all the information,” ANSA reported.
POLITICO has reached out to Trump Jr. for comment.
