Biden administration apologizes for Trump administration fuck up

Biden administration apologizes after Trump administration accidentally sanctions Italian restaurant

Former President Trump accidentally slapped sanctions on an Italian restaurant in his final days of office, thinking that the restaurant was part of a Venezuelan oil network that the administration sought to blacklist.

On Trump's final day of office, the former President sanctioned all Venezuelan companies and individuals associated with Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), the country's state-owned oil firm, in order to force Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro to resign. Maduro, often described as a "dictator" has been widely criticized by the international community for various forms of corruption and human rights abuses. Several nations did not recognize his most recent election win in 2018.

As a part of the long-term U.S. embargo on Venezuela, the Trump administration identified a man named Alessandro Bazzoni over suspicions that he was involved in a network of Venezuelan oil companies attempting to skirt around U.S. sanctions.

However, Trump erroneously applied sanctions to two other men with the same name, one of whom runs a Sardinia graphic design studio called SeriGraphicLab and the other a Verona pizzeria called AMG SAS Di Alessandro Bazzoni & C. The pizzeria owner reportedly discovered he'd been sanctioned during a visit to his bank.

The two businesses should sue Trump and make him pay for their losses.

He’s too lazy to actually do any governing. But he’s still responsible for the overzealous nitwits in his maladministration.
