Charles Kushner earlier defied a Foreign Ministry summons over Washington’s statements on the death of a right-wing activist
France has blocked US Ambassador Charles Kushner from direct government access after he ignored a summons to the Foreign Ministry to explain American comments on the death of right-wing activist Quentin Deranque.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot summoned Kushner to the Quai d’Orsay after Washington warned of rising “violent radical leftism” in France. The ambassador failed to show, reportedly citing personal commitments and sending an embassy official instead. Barrot deemed the no-show a breach of protocol and ordered for Kushner to be denied government access, according to a Foreign Ministry statement cited by French media.
“In light of this apparent failure to grasp the basic requirements of the ambassadorial mission and the honor of representing one’s country, the minister [Barrot] has requested that he [Kushner] no longer be allowed direct access to members of the French government,” the ministry said.
