US EditionCharles Kushner reaches out to French foreign minister after protocol breach
France restricted Ambassador Kushner's access after he skipped a summons linked to US comments on a French activist's death, marking a rare diplomatic rebuke, officials said.
- On Tuesday, U.S. ambassador to France Kushner called Jean-Noël Barrot and said he did not want to interfere after snubbing a summons, French foreign ministry officials confirmed.
- Following embassy posts on X about `violent radical leftism was on the rise`, the U.S. Embassy in France and the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Counterterrorism monitored the case earlier this month.
- On Monday evening, France's foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot banned Kushner from meeting French government members after the foreign ministry summoned him; it is unclear if Kushner will regain access.
- With allied ties strained, the fallout has provoked anger and accusations across the political spectrum just over a year before the presidential election.
- The ambassador and minister agreed to meet in the coming days to continue working toward a close bilateral relationship that celebrates its 250th anniversary this year, with the ambassador reaffirming friendship.
