After US Ambassador Charles Kushner did not attend a meeting to address remarks made by the Trump administration on the death of a far-right activist named Quentin Deranque, France banned him from meeting with government ministers.
Kushner, the father of US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner, was called by Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot after the US embassy in Paris reprinted remarks made by the Trump administration in Washington on Deranque.
Deranque, 23, passed away due to head injuries sustained during altercations between far-right and radical-left supporters at a demonstration against a member of the left-wing France Unbowed (LFI) party in Lyon on February 12. The minister has asked that he (Kushner) no longer be granted direct access to members of the French government due to his obvious inability to understand the fundamentals of the ambassadorial mission and the honor of serving one’s nation,” the foreign ministry stated.
Naturally, Ambassador Charles Kushner can still perform his duties and show up in the Quai d’Orsay, the statement stated, “so that we may hold the diplomatic discussions needed to smooth over the irritants that can inevitably arise in a friendship spanning 250 years. After posting on X that “reports, corroborated by the French Minister of the Interior, that Quentin Deranque was killed by left-wing militants, should concern us all,” the US State Department’s Counterterrorism Bureau had called for Kushner to clarify a comment.
