Former president Donald Trump accidentally sanctioned an Italian restaurant on a blacklist meant for a network of Venezuelan oil firms, reports have said.

Reuters reported that in 2019 Mr Trump sanctioned a network of oil firms and individuals tied to Venezuela’s state oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) as part of a plan to crackdown on blacklisted crude oil.

The former president was seeking to force the resignation of President Nicolas Maduro, who the administration accused of corruption, human rights violations, and manipulating his 2018 re-election.

On Mr Trump’s last day in office, the treasury department imposed sanctions on a man named Alessandro Bazzoni over accusations he was tied to a network attempting to evade sanctions on Venezuela’s oil sector.

However, an Italian restaurant owner in Verona, Italy, who has the same name, got a rude shock when he discovered his company, named AMG SAS Di Alessandro Bazzoni & C, had been put on the blacklist.
