New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been criticized for his recent trip to Rome, Italy, amidst escalating violence in NYC. Critics accuse Adams of using the trip, which included a first class flight, staying in a luxury hotel, and a visit to the Colosseum Metro Station construction site, as a guise for a vacation. During his visit, Adams praised Rome's subway construction speed and engaged in activities like painting over graffiti with Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri, which he described as part of learning about various global issues such as climate change and migrant handling. Meanwhile, back in New York, the city faces a surge in violent crimes, including shootings and stabbings, raising questions about the timing and necessity of the mayor's trip.
