Donald Trump Jr., the son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, is facing allegations of breaking Italian and European Union environmental protection laws while duck hunting near Venice in December. Italian Green party lawmakers have filed parliamentary questions urging authorities to take action against Trump Jr. for allegedly hunting in a protected area and killing a rare species of duck. Hunting in Italy is legal but strictly regulated.
In a video released by Field Ethos, a brand co-founded by Trump Jr., he can be seen participating in the duck hunting trip. He describes his hunting spoils, including a rare duck that is protected by EU and Italian laws. The video also mentions that precautions are taken to respect the local environment, as the expedition took place on private land.
The incident has sparked outrage among environmentalists, with Italian authorities waiting for a report on the alleged offense. Both Trump Jr. and Field Ethos have not responded to requests for comment on the matter. The video of the hunting trip was posted on YouTube in December 2024, with Italian media reporting that Trump Jr. was in Venice at that time with his girlfriend. The Environment Minister of Italy has stated that he is aware of the incident and is awaiting further information before taking any action.
